Also the beginning of CTC headed south (west) in the Western Pacific days, before UP pulled it out. Tom Y Date: 07/22/14 15:13 Re: A Tuesday treat Author: Evan_Werkema Chooch Wrote:

The second unit is a C636, and no SP&S C636's survive. Date: 07/22/14 16:53 Re: A Tuesday treat Author: MartyBernard Yes, a nice Tuesday treat. Thanks!

Well not exactly. But this C636 did spend some time in Stockton as the Delta Bulk Terminals switcher. Mike You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

Here's another video from that chase. ALCO Heaven! Wish I had been able to see the BN ALCO's on the WP highline. Great pic. Mike You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!
