Hey Tony, thanks for posting your Bay Area photos. Nice shots, taken from interesting angles. Being a So-Cal guy I rarely got up there during that period, now I can see what I missed.

Cheers,

You've got yourself a pretty rare photo there, sonny.

On the right is SSW #306. It would only operate with its Cotton Belt lettering and number for a matter of weeks after it was transferred to the Pacific Lines, before it became SP #6462.

Before I traded the slide away I had a good closeup shot of it about a block away from the roundhouse. Wish I still had it. - Tony
