Mar-07-02, 00:25 AM (EST) "Pictures From Daily Travels" In my daily travels I pass all sorts of interesting equipment. Some I have not seen before because I rarely went down this certain road. Well today I went down this road I Woodland California and here is what I saw.



I also took these pics of the Yolo Shortline Steam engine


There is also the California Northern in Woodland as well. Sorry about the rain drops.


Last but not least back to Roseville California.


I hope you all enjoy these and/or find them useful. I have taken approximately 30-40 pics in the last few days and there is usually always something interesting so I always carry my camera.
Anyone else have any interesting pics?

Mar-08-02, 10:30 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Pictures From Daily Travels" FWIW,
Dekosoft has models of the California Northern GP35 and GP15-1.
The Alco S1 I believe was made by Mark Toland and should be available in the file library. The NW2 looks like a nice project to tackle.........
Great Pics!

Mar-08-02, 06:02 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Pictures From Daily Travels" Nice! I like the long boxcar particularly. Here's some photos from the 1980's I dug out of mothballs and scanned in...A couple of Conrail GG-1s emerging from Enola yards in Pennsylvania:
An old PRSL RDC sitting in Ocean City, New Jersey at 10th Street. Notice the long sheet metal strip covering PRSL above the windows. It belonged to NJ Transit then:
Another RDC at the mini-museum at Boonton, New Jersey:
Here's a good one! Going around the curve too fast at Grantham, Pennsylvania produced this mess:

Mar-09-02, 09:09 PM (EST) 5. "Here's a few more"
I took these this afternoon at Roseville Yard. Equipment for battling the snows of Donner Pass.
Two Rotorarys, there are about 4 or 5 more there.

Ice breaking equipment for the tunnels. Notice the bars over the windows

Plow train

Here is the old Sacramento Locomotive Works in Espee's Sacramento yard. The California RR Museum stores alot of equipment there.
You can see Santa Fe #5021 on the turntable and another ATSF steamer behind it.

Here is another shot of some of the CSRM equipment. There are 3 cranes in this shot and one in the previous.

Last but not least here is something not seen everyday. This is at a trucking company next to Roseville yard.

Mar-21-02, 11:43 PM (EST) 8. "Trip to Truckee, California 3-21-02" 1st off, West Bound auto train about to enter snowshed west of Donner summit.

2nd EB auto train in downtown Truckee

3rd Snow fighting equip in Truckee yard

4th WB Amtrak just west of downtown Truckee
Sorry about the trees

5 and 6th Private Varnish on the above Amtrak. These were taken at Emigrant Gap where the tracks pass underneath I-80. The Rio Grande car is on the north side

and I had just enough time to pull into the vista point, jump onto the top of my truck and get a picture of the Northern Pacific Observation on the south side of I-80.

Mar-24-02, 10:29 PM (EST) 12. "East end of Roseville Yard" How about some old DRGW power?

Well, these units are a little way out of their territory.

I sure would love to have that white house in the background. It sits next to the wye at the eastern most part of the yard, from there the tracks go north towards Yuba City, east towards Reno and west towards San Francisco. The 2 hours I sat there they turned about a 5 sets of units.

Here is an engine you don't see everyday.
