Nostalgia & History > Westbound Wednesday - SP Del Monte Non Stop, Millbrae, 1967Date: 04/07/21 08:31 Westbound Wednesday - SP Del Monte Non Stop, Millbrae, 1967 Author: FiveChime A Sunday Del Monte westbound through Millbrae, California, 1967.
Looks like first car is from a foreign railroad perhaps moving non revenue to SF.

I do recall seeing one in San Francisco lettered Southern Pacific prior to their repainting to SP silver with the tomato stripe letterboard.

and the parlor car so the odd car would of been an extra coach. I think it was deadheading. The gallery car was added in San Jose, common on the weekend trains.

C&NW traded their 3 RDC's to C&O for 3 coaches C&O 1664-1666 which became C&NW 3483-3485. They became SP 2216-2218. BSB

Thanks for the info. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA |
