The Cuesta helpers, all of which are of some SP ancestry are seen resting near the depot in San Luis Obispo. The trees are really thriving around the old water tower!

The Niles Canyon Railway steam special crosses the Farwell Bridge that carries the line over Alameda Creek and Highway 84.

Even out of focus there's no question what these signs are saying. A baby bullet express train speeds South on it's quick run to San Jose.

Southbound emerging from Tunnel 4 on approach to the Bayshore stop.

UPY 1409 and a GP15 numbered 614 work in Benicia right outside the Bahia Auto Terminal. At least the SP wasn't the only one that let their motive power fade this badly!

An Eastbound double-stack train is passing over the Bridge into Benicia from Martinez with three units, UP numbers 5006, 4115, and 9429.

Eastbound Union Pacific Manifest over the Butte Canyon Bridge about to enter Shed 10.

From Martinez facing Benicia an Amtrak California set is crossing the historic bridge westbound on the first sunny day in weeks here.

The AT&T yellow pages train is running as an express South through SSF station.

With the loss of so much industry here, one has to wonder if this sign will ever be changed to "The Biotech City"!

The UP Engineer watches his train as he remotely switches cuts of cars in Martinez. UP 841 and 580 are working hard, but 580 is absolutely gleaming in the bright morning sun.

One of the last trains before lights out, this Amtrak train is Southbound about to enter Jack London Square.

After making a quick stop at the 22nd St. station, Caltrain 920 is Southbound underneath Hwy 280 between tunnels 1 and 2.

An express Caltrain speeds through South City while another form of public transit bound for San Mateo passes overhead on US 101.

Except for maybe switching commute cars at 3rd and Townsend it is doubtful that SP 1423 did any passenger work in her career, but she did great and sounds excellent.
