WP SJT "San Jose Turn" |
| Description: |
Kodak's grainy Tri-X Pan to the rescue, as it's after 8 PM at night when the SJT "San Jose Turn" makes an appearance in Milpitas after an ENTIRE DAY OF NO TRAINS along the WP San Jose Branch. Well, at least not that we had seen. The train is seen here north of Milpitas Yard. GP40 #3539 was delivered September 1971. This Stockton to Milpitas round trip was supposed to operate with the Final Four F units, but got second generation power for our one day seeing it. Taken with an Argus Cosina STL 1000 of the same vintage as the GP40. |

WP SJT "San Jose Turn" going away |
| Description: |
Western Pacific's U-Boats rode on EMD Blomberg trucks from traded-in EMD units. WP #3062 was delivered as #762 in April of 1969. It was renumbered in 1972, and stored in February of 1983, never to run again. Still here, in 1978, it had a good four and 1/2 years of service left in it. While the quality of this image isn't great, please consider that this picture was taken after the sun had gone down (well after 8PM, maybe already hitting 9PM, with a balky Argus Cosina STL 1000 and Tri-X Pan Film, later developed in our basement darkroom). |
