Nostalgia & History > UP odds n' endsDate: 04/18/14 06:55 UP odds n' ends Author: PERichardson 1-2. GP9 305 on a transfer run into SP's Taylor Yard, Los Angeles. 10/27/67 For me, having grown up around here, this captures what the yard and adjacent San Fernando Road looked like back then.
3. UP 3300W at Del Mar, CA, 8/7/96. Can't recall why this train was on the Surf Line. Date: 04/18/14 07:00 Re: UP odds n' ends Author: PERichardson 4. Back in caboose days, a UP westbound comes down Cajon Pass, around Ono. 5/16/73
5. Six-month old C30-7 2505 with an eastbound ascending Cajon Pass. 2/15/81 6. C30-7 2433W passing through San Bernardino, CA station. 11/22/84 Date: 04/18/14 07:25 Re: UP odds n' ends Author: hotrail masterphots Wrote:

GP9 305 on a transfer run into SP's Taylor > Yard, Los Angeles. 10/27/67 It started out as a GP9, but from the looks of that fat stack ahead of the dynamic brake blister, it's been fitted with a turbo and upgraded to a GP20. Strack's site indicates EMD did the retrofit on this one, rather than the UP shops. http://www.utahrails.net/articles/up-gp9-turbo.php Date: 04/18/14 17:34 Re: UP odds n' ends Author: ButteStBrakeman In photo #1, with the UP305 heading up the west main towards the main line tower, sits the Bethlehem Steel local, waiting to enter "A" yard at Taylor. Even that rear brakeman looks familiar, don't you think, SteamJocky?
