Nostalgia & History > Switcher SundayDate: 12/01/19 10:45 Switcher Sunday Author: trackplanner WP 602 (SW9) & 608 (NW2) idle between assignments on the sand tracks at Stockton, CA in February 1983? (Don DeLay photo).

Bob Date: 12/01/19 15:43 Re: Switcher Sunday Author: PHall I seriously doubt the 1985 date on the picture. That would be three years after the UP Assimulation.
The SW9's were shipped off to Omaha for their conversion to SW10's in 1983 or so. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/01/19 18:36 by PHall. Date: 12/01/19 19:57 Re: Switcher Sunday Author: zephyrus Awesome shot! And SN 607 hiding there behind the 602 as well.

Date: 12/02/19 20:02 Re: Switcher Sunday Author: trackplanner According to Don Strack's Utah Rails site, WP 602 was retired in September 1983, so the date of this slide is incorrect. It was probably February or March 1983 during a Winterail trip. Guess I either lost or misplaced the roll or waited an awful long time to have it developed!
