Western Pacific GP7 and F7 on the APF |
| Description: |
Well, honestly, my dad took this picture about two seconds too late, but I've posted it anyway for the historic value of that freshly painted GP7 and F7 under the Calaveras Boulevard overpasses. At the time, Milpitas was the home to the "Final Four," Western Pacific's last four F7(A)s, which were still in service, mainly handling Stockton to Milpitas runs like this "Auto Parts Forwarder." Sadly for us, #917 was the only F we saw even though we had actually included Milpitas as part of a non-railfanning family vacation just to get them. GP7 #713 was delivered to the WP in April of 1953. F7 #917 was delivered to the WP in January of 1950. |

WP APF "Auto Parts Forwarder" in front of Ford |
| Description: |
The three trailing units on the APF are seen along side Piper Drive at the at the southeast corner of the Ford Plant in Milpitas (today the site of the Great Mall of the Bay Area). This is the mainline of the Western Pacific "San Jose Branch." At this point in time, they are pulling the whole train south, before beginning the work of dropping their loads and picking up their outbounds. |

WP APF "Auto Parts Forwarder" in front of Ford |
| Description: |
The "Auto Parts Forwarder" is probably beginning to bleed off its caboose now before kicking it to their outbound cut. Then they would shove the rest of their loads into the track they were delivering to. The "Auto Parts Forwarder" had begun its journey in Stockton about six or seven hours earlier. Called at midnight 7 days a week for San Jose. It carried South Bay manifest and Ford products that were less time sensitive. Three three lead engines all made it to museums, 712 and 917 to Porola and 713 to Niles. Only the U-Boat (the baby in the bunch) doesn't survive today. |

Western Pacific SJM "San Jose Manifest" |
| Description: |
The "San Jose Manifest" outbound waits silently on track #1 of Milpitas Yard while its crew has gone to beans. The cut of cars on track #3 (with the mid 1950s era International bay window caboose) may be the FF "Fast Ford" or a local. If you look to the far right, there are some garbage truck bodies on a flat car, probably being delivered to Ford. U23B #2265, which rode on Blomber trucks from an EMD trade in, was delivered in June of 1972, making it 22 years younger than the F7 right behind it. |

WP F7A #917 - Western Pacific |
| Description: |
WP F7A #917D was built by EMD in January of 1950. The loco lasted well beyond its replacement time. Four Western Pacfiic F7A's were lucky survivors that received rebults. #917 was rebuilt in the WP's Stockton shops in 1977 and continued until retirement in 1981. It ended up at the Bay Area Electric Rwy Association. A trade in 2005 sent it to its current home of the Western Pacific RR Museum in Portolo, CA. This is a Bob gottier slide. No date or location was given but it appears to be the Stockton Yards after its rebuilt by the WP shops. |
