Nostalgia & History > SP Bs Unsung HeroesDate: 10/20/14 10:04 SP Bs Unsung Heroes Author: edsaalig We don't post enough photos of the B units but here are three. The first two were used in PRS excursions in the 70s and the third is on a westbound Sunset in the early 70s in Pomona. What ever became of them?

> are three. Hey, what was my "I "B"lieve, Brethren!" thread yesterday, chopped liver? http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,3552862 Seriously, it's nice to see that someone else appreciates B-units. The 8290 of your second photo, kept turning up over and over again when I was shooting in the Sixties. -E.O.

Date: 10/20/14 11:50 Re: SP Bs Unsung Heroes Author: Notch16 Another busy unit in the late 1960s. Always seemed to be an 8100-series early carbody style in the average consist, disrupting the louvered grilles and no end overhangs of the later FP7s and matching Bs in the 8200-8300 series.
Grainy original, sorry! Quick grab today... ~ BZ  Date: 10/20/14 13:39 Re: SP Bs Unsung Heroes Author: callum_out One of the last F7Bs ended up sandwiched between two U25Bs out of City of Industry
on the Anaheim Hauler, ran for months that way. Never did get a decent picture. Out Date: 10/20/14 13:46 Re: SP Bs Unsung Heroes Author: WestinAshahr Much to our great surprise, 8104 showed up at Corvallis Jct. in recently repainted Black Widow colors. --May 1971
