Model Railroading > New Rapido SP PA2 With Oakland - Sacramento LocalDate: 09/25/22 08:19 New Rapido SP PA2 With Oakland - Sacramento Local Author: FiveChime About the only place SP used these locomotives alone was on the Oakland-Sacramento locals like the Senator.
Here is such a depiction with a few extra cars working upgrade at the Randall Museum model railroad in San Francisco. Can't beat detail or accurate sound on these new Rapido locomotives.

They worked over Donner Summit and up to Portland. I was unaware they worked the short haul trains too. Looks like a nice train, thanks for posting.

Date: 09/25/22 17:26 Re: New Rapido SP PA2 With Oakland - Sacramento Local Author: railstiesballast In the long ago TRAINS Magazine issue "Who Shot the Passenger Train?" there was a photo of a PA and one heavyweight coach on a local out of Sacramento to somewhere nearby.
It was to illustrate that the ICC and PUC kept many trains on long after the passengers had left and that if there was a need for a one-car train an RDC could have been used.
