That last picture is at Slover, the first siding on the Palmdale Cutoff as you travel timetable west from Bloomington/West Colton, CA. Neat shots.

Nice shots Owen, the brakie in that last one does look rather dapper. Love the hat.

Kent in Carmel Valley

Great SP memories!

Great shots!

I'd estimate the first photo to be in the mid-80's, as all three units have their light packages. Even the far SD9 has the old-style square mars light. Also note the 8514's "SD402" sticker below the window. I do not recall these labels being standard practice on the SP. The unit was also recognized in the SP books as an SD40T-2, not an SD40-2.

Last photo is likely late-80's, as the kodachrome's paint hasn't gone to hell yet.
