Wow....Espee E units. |
| Description: |
Being from the SF Bay Area, we didn't see SP E units, unless we were very lucky to hit some when we went over to the Peninsula to watch trains. So, the sound of these twin-motored units were very distinct, and got our attention as they were coming back from the west end of the engine escape track between platform tracks 7 and 6, after cutting off the inbound "Sunest Limited" that had arrived before the Lark. Power is heading back to Taylor yard for servicing. |

SP E8 6046 |
| Description: |
At least I think it's an E8......PA's went to 6045, and I thought SP had but one E8, and that would be 6046. Still recall how the two 567's in each E seemed to be not quite in snych as they throttled up and down, so it sounded like FOUR units. And they had a different sound from F's and Geeps. |

SP No. 1 |
| Description: |
The high, midday summer sun made for poor lighting, but that didn't stop Joe Wilhelm from shooting the westbound SUNSET in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Train No. 1 was on track 12, awaiting its 12:01 PM departure, with E9A 6046, E7B 5909 and six cars: an unidentified deadhead, a baggage car, three coaches, and an AUTOMAT food service car. The 6046 was the first of the Espee's nine E9A units and was traded-in to EMD in February 1970, while the 5909 was the last of the railroad's 10 E7B's and was sent back to EMD in October 1968. A year after this photo, tracks 7-12 would be shortened by about 600 feet so that a bus parking area could be built here, and then scenes like this would no longer be possible. (approximate day) |

Head end shot of train 99. |
| Description: |
We got brave (you notice we hadn't been riding the vestibules so far- that's why the pictures are thru the windows!) and strolled up to the head end as 99 stopped at SLO for crew change and servicing. Gee, one of the yardmen is standing at the water hose cart, ready to add water to the units, I guess, if needed. Of the 2 or 3 folks standing and chatting, the late Gerry Salsig is the one facing towards the eng, right hand on hip, and left hand holding his camera bag and whatever. So, I guess that's my "Kodak" camera bag and notepad on the ground between me and them. |
