Susanville,
Ca
A double set of Magnetic Signal Company upper quadrants
at Susanville, Ca. in 1971. SP GP9 3471 (later becoming 3404 after rebuilding
to GP9E) sits in the siding. This crossing is just west of the depot. According
to Stan, the signals lasted several years longer until the SP cut back
the branch by a mile or so. The locomotive is from the Susanville
Local from Wendel. It comes this far west just to access the runaround
track.
Oh... I forgot to mention the irony here. These were located at Richmond Road. |
