Nostalgia & History > SP Train !9 the "Klamath"at Small Siding 1961

Before the days of drones if you wanted an aerial of a train you hiked up to a high spot and looked down on the tracks. Case in point the view down from the "Wall" overlooking Small Siding. The location Im standing on is about 3/12 miles from where the train first passed me. Train 19 this day is lead by a couple of PA's 6016 & 6036. This one is for Dave Maffei who insisted I post a photo an SP passenger train today. Well Dave you can always wander over to the Novato Station and watch what is considered to be a passenger train today.

That would have been a fun ride. Great image as always.

Nice to see an economy baggage car at the head end behind the power.

I am sure that Dave appreciated this post, as did I.

Trains 19 & 20 were among my favorites, especially before SP spilled all of that gray paint over the PAs'

#20 would often meet #11, the "Cascade," also equipped with Daylight-painted PAs, at Labish, Oregon, which was nearby to where I lived during my teens. Good memories.

Just what the Doctor ordered to get me through a mid week crisis, some PAs and head end cars.
I agree, cool to see the newer Economy baggage cars mixed with old baggage/mail equipment.
Thanks Photobob, it's almost Friday now...
Novato? Are they running passenger trains? I need to get out more often. I thought those green things were new Golden Gate transit buses. ..
:-)

Wow, excellent photo! Thanks for posting.

I love this shot. Thanks for sharing.

The date must be 1962 or later. The Economy baggage cars are PC&F built from 1962.

Hey lets make it 1962 then. This is why I try not to date crap as its always wrong. By the way the number behind the trailing PA is 6765.
