Friends,

While browsing on Wikimedia Commons I stumbled across this rather small photo of an NE interurban car in Oroville circa 1906. I can't read the number, or even determine if it is a Niles or a Cincinatti car. Still interesting though.

Yours Aye,

Justin,

The last day of electric operation between Marysville and Yuba City was 10 April 1965. That was an excursion led by 654 pulling caboose 1636 and a sister car filled with railfans.
Attached are two Wilbur Whittaker photos from my collection.

Up to that time, 654 and 653 held down operations at Marysville-Yuba City. Hanger queen 652 was in the WP Jeffrey Shops in Sacramento being stripped for parts.

Yours Aye,

Those are great pictures, I remember the bridge from when I was young, but never saw it with trains on it, or even the wires
