Nostalgia & History > Calif Western M300 and SP SD9's at Willits, June 1970Date: 02/05/08 23:26 Calif Western M300 and SP SD9's at Willits, June 1970 Author: drew1946 I am not sure of the date on this photo---the slide appears to be stamped with what may be June 1970. Anyway, California Western's former Saltair motor car #M300 is waiting to depart the Willits depot as SP SD9 #3918 is heading SP West down the NWP. Almost out of sight is SP RDC #10.

Mike Henderson, NV Date: 02/06/08 10:48 Re: Calif Western M300 and SP SD9's at Willits, June 19 Author: cwrmikado The California Western still owns and uses both M100, and M300. M200 is still around at the Niles Canyon Railroad. The first motor car the CWR had, the M80 was scrapped after a head on collision between itself and the M100 in the early 60's.
