Looks like they are doing a little switching or something before they depart the fireman hasn’t put the train indicators in. They could also be getting a helper into position. I know they used to have to shove them up to Crest and they appear to be Alturas bound. Or who knows maybe they’re the helper? We may never know but I like photos that make you think!

Thanks for the post. ALLEN Date: 07/24/19 15:29 Re: face-to-face with an SP cab forward .... ('55) Author: all-nite-junk-train On the cab forwards, did the engineer sit on the right hand side, as standard with all engines, or
did he sit on the left side? Date: 07/24/19 15:34 Re: face-to-face with an SP cab forward .... ('55) Author: agentatascadero Right side.
