Cool picture, thank you fo posting. Charlesn Date: 11/30/21 11:59 Re: Train Master Tuesday, SP H-24-66 Millbrae, 11/23/59 Author: 462pacific I may well have put mail on that train that day as I was regularly assigned to do so
by the Santa Clara post office. Thanks for the good memories ! Date: 11/30/21 12:56 Re: Train Master Tuesday, SP H-24-66 Millbrae, 11/23/59 Author: phthithu Great shot. Was Millbrae switched by a job that only worked MIllbrae or did it cover a few zones as part of its duties, maybe taking a drag of cars back to Bayshore and tying up there?

the aggregate plants at Howest and San Mateo. Here is a photo of RS32 4004 in the center siding at Millbrae having just arrived from the south. Regards, Jim Evans Edited 1 time(s).

Interesting how today Redwood yard is sort of the main yard for the Peninsula.
Do you happen to know how the Millbrae local's cars got to and from Redwood City--Newhall or Bayshore? Nowadays there's a capacity issue there its not quite big enough to handle the dirt cars and everything else, even with the traffic so much smaller. Edited 1 time(s).

It 's likely a baggage and Post Office car, either way.
