Nostalgia & History > A random image from my past

Some time in the late 50's an SP freight heads east near Truckee.

I can't get enough of B&W images of SP F's. Nice shot.

The best thing about the F's is they had a nice "dashboard" so that you had a place to put your feet up while waiting at San Jose trying to get to Watsonville before your time was up. Bayshore to Watsonville was a 16 hour trip with most of it spent sitting at San Jose. I was tempted to say while snoozing at San Jose, but we all know that was against the rules. We always stayed wide awake in a very comfortable position. It is amazing how the drum of a 567 could help ensure you stayed awake.
