SP definitely had the gnarliest, nastiest looking PA's of any road. And I mean that in the best possible way!

Don't you know that PAs are designated as honorary steam engines?

Crap is in the eye of the beholder! Those PA shots at 16th Street are priceless.

Riding SP passenger trains in those days wasn't all that rosy, either.

I hope you don't object: it's a cool shot and I thought I'd tinker with it a bit.

Nice KM. Typical bleak Valley December day. More more more, please... as if I need to ask! :-)

Here, Here-Mojave Bill. I was riding SP passenger trains in the time period. You really had to want to "go by train" to step into their passenger equipment. I loved those automat cars!

SP sure knew how to make a passenger "beauty queen" look utilitarian. (I wouldn't say "ugly" though...)
