Nostalgia & History > pacing Sonora Baja train #3 into MexicaliDate: 09/11/19 17:33 pacing Sonora Baja train #3 into Mexicali Author: GreenFlag Here's some photos taken on 2-14-76 while pacing SBC inbound train #3 below Mexicali with GP40 2106 on the point. A real mix of equipment and paint schemes.

Photo # 8 car 5118 ex MP 466 or 467 Budd 1948 Can not make out car numbers of the IC car or the blue and yellow. Date: 09/12/19 05:58 Re: pacing Sonora Baja train #3 into Mexicali Author: refarkas Fascinating set of photos.

The two cars in photo 2 when pacing look to be the 1964 & 1938. The FCP car in pic 9 is the 1548. I figured that first car on the train was ex-IC, but can't see the number. I have photos of other cars that day also. I have a slide of a steam engine in the yard that I'm almost certain went on display around there within a year or two. I was going to post that on the Steam Board. Date: 09/12/19 11:40 Re: pacing Sonora Baja train #3 into Mexicali Author: mundo 1964 is the EX BN - GN 1232
The1938, my notes say is ex B&O, others say Lackawanna 1548 looks like a 14 or 16 section sleeper converted to a coach. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/12/19 11:43 by mundo. |
