Southern Pacific (SP) ALCo C630 3151 leads a drag past Colton Tower in Colton, CA on a foggy Saturday, November 16, 1974, morning.
According to Strapac's great SP Compendium series, Century 630 SP 3151 was built by ALCo in March 1966 as SP 7802, SP Class AF630-1, construction number 3439-03. It was downgraded to switcher status, becoming SP 3151, SP Class AS630-1, in June 1973. It was retired in Dec. 1982 and eventually scrapped.
