Railroaders' Nostalgia > SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time booksDate: 08/16/19 07:59 SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: hogheaded I've added more items to my website's rosters page:
I should also note that I am (finally) trying to finish up placing History San Jose's Ernie Kiesel Collection of Southern Pacific Photographs online. You may recall that it consists of more than 300 photos, mostly of Coast Division engineers circa 1900 - late 1960's. I *hope* to have it up in a few weeks, but it is VERY time-consuming, so we'll see. Otherwise, I've come to conclude that social media is no longer my thing, so I'm letting my TO's membership lapse next month.

Your link to the 1937 combined Portland area roster does not link to that document, rather to the 1947 SP Portland Division roster listed further down your web page. I'd be interested in seeing the combined listing. Thanks! Bob Willer Date: 08/16/19 12:46 Re: SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: hogheaded OSWishram Wrote:

It is now fixed, and here's a shortcut: Portland rosters Ed Date: 08/16/19 20:17 Re: SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: ATSFSuperChief Sorry to see you leave TO, enjoyed your posts.
Don Allender Date: 08/16/19 20:28 Re: SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: Westbound That once large roster of SP retirees continues its inevitable reduction with the passage of time. There are not many within that group who post here on Trainorders. Sure would like to see you remain an active, posting member.
Date: 08/16/19 23:16 Re: SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: hogheaded Thanks for your kind sentiments, Don and Westbound, but resigning from TO's does not mean that I am also shutting down the Wx4 website. It will continue to grow. It is just that I have way too many irons in the fire, and I want to carve out more time to devote to the website backlog, Ernie Kiesel being merely the tip of the iceberg. (I've already deep-sixed Facebook, and gad, that's one of the smartest things that I've ever done.) Essentially, TO's is an all-too-tempting way to consume big chunks of time that should go to Wx4. Beyond that, I'm getting too old and crochety to remain civilized in any social context for very much longer.
Regards, EO And honestly, how many of you read my posts about the California & Oregon Coast RR, or the birth of RR vacuum cleaners? None? I thought so (-: Date: 08/16/19 23:23 Re: SP Sac, Shasta, Portland, Coast employee rosters & time books Author: bradleymckay Still hoping someone gives you Western Division and San Joaquin Division seniority rosters from the late '70's or early '80's to post...

I for one! I guess you could say that I was "sucked into it". Fascinating not only for the depth of information but for some other stuff as well. It "cleared up" a lot of misconceptions that I (and I'm sure many TO members) had about those fascinating, but little known, machines. If I never read another article, I hope that it's yours about the RR vacuums. Good luck on your future ventures, and your website speaks for itself!

Yeah, but only after I tied you to a tree and forced you to read it.
