Nostalgia & History > Train time at Martinez 1960 styleDate: 03/01/13 15:47 Train time at Martinez 1960 style Author: photobob Train 51 the "San Joaquin Daylight" is just arriving at Martinez after an all day run up the valley from Los Angeles. Kids on the platform have just witnessed the ritual of grabbing orders while anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandparents from far off Fresno.

After Scarlet and Gray and snowplows, but before icicle bars. Nice time of day for trainwatching! ~ BZ Date: 03/01/13 17:30 Re: Train time at Martinez 1960 style Author: 3rdswitch Love these blasts from the past!
JB Date: 03/01/13 20:30 Re: Train time at Martinez 1960 style Author: railstiesballast I'm curious how often regular trains in this D-251 double track territory got orders. Maybe it was just a clearance so the DS would get an OS time?

> just a clearance so the DS would get an OS time? You don't think the operator at Martinez OSed all trains? Why not? Date: 03/02/13 15:06 Re: Martinez 1960 Author: Steamjocky If it's an open train order office, which apparently it is, then I would think that the operator would OS any and all trains regardless if they picked up orders or not.
