Railroaders' Nostalgia > Laws CaliforniaDate: 11/19/17 18:32 Laws California Author: HardYellow Anyone know these guys? I think second from the left is M.A. (Bo) Golson, former SP Conductor. He was a big time “Boomer.”

Date: 11/21/17 13:28 Re: Laws California Author: bradleymckay I remember seeing Bo's name in one of the first, if not the very first, issue of Railfan magazine way back in the mid 1970's (my first issues of Railfan Mag are long gone). IIRC before he went to work for SP he was noted for his railroad audio recordings.
Here's Bo at work on July 3, 1982 on a train out of San Luis Obispo on SP's Coast Line: 7331 East - BALAT - 78/1, no tonnage or footage listed Conductor: M. A. Golson Engineer: T. Ware Allen Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 11/21/17 13:32 by bradleymckay. Date: 11/22/17 12:28 Re: Laws California Author: CR3 I saw Bo at the recent railroaders reunion dinner in Fontana, Ca. He said he was going to be moving so he can visit Laws more often. I think he said he had been living in Washington State.
