How About a Few SP Switchers
Author: drumwrencher

What the heck - let's start with a road switcher. SP Alco RS-32 4000, supposed to be in Stockton.

Next, SP Fairbanks Morse H-12-44 2360. Looks like they're headed into the FMC plant near Newhall yard - I'll leave final judgment on that to you SP folks who knew those rails.

Lastly, SP EMD 2631 spotted outside Lenzen roundhouse, San Jose, next to an unidentified 2300 class H-12.


Enjoy. We'll never see these scenes again.

Yup. Shots like that are the reason I'm trying to get these pics out to be seen.

Thanks.  I still have some roundhouse photos yet to post. Even though I know they'll never be back, I sure miss those days!

I love seeing the San Jose Municipal Airport tower in the background of #2......Back before it became "International".

Holy crap - I never even noticed all the aircraft in the background!  Thanks for pointing it out!
