Friends,
As promised, here are the black-and-white photos of SN's Alcos from my collection.
403: [West] Sacramento, 6/12/68. Will Whittaker photo, negative in my collection. Note the cab roof equipment: gumball beacon, firecracker ratio antenna and impressive horn array. IIRC, gumball lights were required by Chico's city fathers to operate over street trackage there.
404 (1st): West Sacramento, undated. Garth Groff photo.
404 (2nd): Stockton dead line, 4/22/73.?Will Whittaker photo, negative in my collection. The missing roof equipment suggests the locomotive has been stripped prior to sale for scrap on 8/15/73.
405: West Sacramento, undated. Photographer unknown, negative in my collection.
406: West Sacramento, 9/30/73. Henry Bender photo, negative in my collection via Will Whittaker. 406 was the only SN Alco with nose numberboards.
Last time the computer scrambled the order of my photos. Let's see if it works better this time.
Yours Aye,
Garth Groff ???????? Scotland forever!
