Re: CCT #6
Bill and Friends, Bill, you snagged another rarity! It is CCT 6, before their motors received pantographs. CCT 6 was a home-built motor from 1921. It became caboose 17 in 1946, and its electrical gear

Re: Flat car MW 0412 (?)
Bill, Nice photo. It is actually SN MW01412. This car was rebuilt from an original Fitzhugh Luther flat car. It was listed as a gondola in the 1928 pre-merger valuation, but I think always a flat car

Re: CCT #6
Alternatively, it could be a Tidewater Southern box motor....

Re: CCT #6
It looks quite like an Oakland and Antioch box motor 104. See attached image

Re: CCT #6

Re: San Ramon Branch SP
There was an interchange track at Las Juntas where the SP and SN crossed in Concord. I don't know if it got much use though. Someone will know more than I do, I'm sure.

Re: San Ramon Branch SP
The two books on the Sacramento Northern and SP Sam Ramon Branches might still be available at the Danville Depot of the San Ramon Valley Historical Society in Danville.????

Re: San Ramon Branch SP
Justin and Friends, Yes, though how much traffic, I don't know. The SN crossed the SP branch at Las Juntas. Attached is a plan that Bob Campbell drew for me, which explains the layout as it was up

Re: SN 2316
Hi Bill, Thanks for posting that! How did you manage to extract that from the extremely fuzzy, low-res photo on the BAERA ebay site? Wow, however you did it, that's great. Thanks. A very interesting

Re: SN 2316
Bill and Friends, I have a Will Whittaker photo of 2324 taken in 1949 that also shows traces of the WP herald showing through otherwise new SN paint (and still on arch bar trucks). I have also seen

Re: PG & E Birney update
Mike, An excellent model. May I point out that the trucks are plain bearing, and the anti-climbers are the standard Birney design. Your model matches 62-68, the ex-San Diego cars acquired in 1923 and

Re: SN 2316
Hi Bill, I saw that oddball car, too. But how in the world were you able to discern the car number? Allan has recently taken to posting intentionally blurry photos on the BAERA ebay site, presumably
