Here's a Savage view on Oct12, 1939 as 654 in basic dip black bangs across the SP on the Woodland line with boxcar 2138 and a Texaco tank car.

Marysville.

A friend has this listed as SN, however this isn't NE or SN third-rail and no company associated with SN had a box motor #6. I'm thinking this might be CCT #6 however I'm not versed in matters of the Traction. CCT motors were leased by OA/OA&E and maybe NE/SNRR (?) so I'm at a loss on this one. Comments welcome. ~Bill Shippen

Just picked up. Not sure on the number...

Pictures from Charles Hopkins. SW-1 in front of Marysville WP depot, and again on spot at Yuba City, and 301-D probably Stockton or Sacramento? ~Bill Shippen (Dig the boxcar)

Folks... Just viewed a scan of this boxcar and it still has the WP emblem on the door. I was under the impression that the emblems were painted over. Garth, comments? EDIT: Just wanted to mention the view is on Ebay BAERA for sale list. ~Bill

Did this San Ramon Branch interchange with the Sacramento Northern? I couldn’t find anything on it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YWJcUI7UMrs&feature=share

I’ve been slowly making progress. Here are a couple pictures... almost ready to paint. Michael Starkey

Friends, The SN's motor launch Countess, was not often photographed, but Ken Jenkins lensed her in August 1940 at Mallard. The reeds suggest why she was so elusive--it probably took Jenkins a slog through some pretty swampy stuff to get this photo. Countess was the second of three launches owned by the OA&E/SF-S/SN. The earliest was Laguna, which was purchased used by the OA&E as a fill-in after the first ferry Bridgit was lost to a fire in 1914. Countess was also a used boat, bought by the SF-S in 1920. She served until 1942. The final launch was a mysterious boat named Legonia which was sold off in 1946. When not used in shuttle service during Ramon's downtime, the launches were used as workboats and were available for charter by (gulp: ?) duck hunting clubs. Yours Aye, Garth Groff Mallard Lodge ?

The below is the street service predecessor of NE in Marysville and Yuba City. Could have been an interesting ride. ~Bill

Here is a postcard I just picked up showing what became SNs Woodland station. V&N views, even converted ones like this are rather uncommon. I had no idea this building had V&N markings but yet here it is. This building was eventually sold and repurposed then razed and rebuilt on the original foundation where it remains today. ~Bill

Michell company postcards. Enjoy

126 and 227. Note 227 has the large NORTHERN ELECTRIC on the side. Enjoy.

Friends, Photos of OA&E equipment are rather rare, but I do have this page from the RAILWAY AGE GAZETTE in my collection with a very clear image of freight motor 103 (after descreening). The motor was built by Baldwin in February 1912. OA&E 103 became SF-S 103 in 1920, and then SN 603 with the Great Merger in 1929 (Joseph Strapac says this was 23 January 1934, but that could be an AFE accounting date). She became SN 643 in 1953 to avoid conflict with WP's 603, an SW9. SN 643 was sold to Oakland's Lerner Co. for scrap at the end of 1955. Yours Aye, Garth Groff ?

Hi all, Got a few cool slides and thought I would share. Anyone know where the trestle photo was taken? Daniel

Thought you'd like to see this Teresilk view of her pulling past Substation 6. ~Bill Shippen
