BN RCC108 - West Colton Yard, Bloomington, CA - 6/22/77 |
| Description: |
The "flying saucer" lighting pinpoints this as Southern Pacifics West Colton Yard, even though these Radio Control Cars are clearly painted in Burlington Northern colors. In the late 1970s the SP tested several of the BNs remote helper control, with a small batch of BN SD40-2s and RCU/RCC cars working out of southern California. Laying over at West Colton Yard are BN RCC 108 (ex-BN F7B 661, originally Great Northern 448B) and RCU 109 (ex-BN F3B 701, ex-Northern Pacific 6000B, nee-NP 6011B). These units added a nice touch of color to the southern California rail scene at the time. |

SP GP9 3756 and Cotton Belt GP35 6650 are on the head-end of a West Colton to Los Angeles local as it rounds the balloon track to reverse direction after departing West Colton Yard in Bloomington, California, on March 25, 1978. (All trains depart this yard eastbound, with the westbounds taking advantage of the balloon track.) In the background another freight can be seen crossing over from the Sunset Route to the Palmdale Cutoff to head over Cajon Pass and Tehachapi on its way to northern California. |

SP 2976 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific's SD38-2 locomotives were somewhat unique on the railroad when delivered in 1973, as they were ordered without the SP-standard signal lights on them - just the EMD-standard nose headlight. This was because they were intended solely for use on the hump at the road's then-new West Colton Yard in Bloomington, California. The yard officially opened on February 23, 1973, and the SD38-2s, 2971 through 2976, were built by EMD in April of 1973. These engines, teamed with slugs constructed from old Alco six-axle road power, did occassionally venture out onto the road for short jaunts, such as this transfer - led by SD38-2 2976, slug 1001 (ex-SP C628 7115, originally SP 4856) and SD38-2 2972 - heading from the old Colton Yard to West Colton Yard. The slugs are long-gone, but the six SD38-2s soldier on at this location under a coat of UP Armour Yellow paint. |

SP 8799 |
| Description: |
Southern Pacific Camera Car (aka Simulator Car) 8799 is a former Krauss-Maffei ML-4000 SP 9113 (nee-9010). The engine had its prime mover removed and the front end was rebuilt to house movie cameras used to film various SP mainlines for the roads full-motion locomotive cab simulator, used to train new engineers. This engine is currently being restored to its original appearance, details of which can be found on the locomotives web site: HTTP://sp9010.ncry.org. The car is coupled to a brake sled built on the frame of an old SP FM H24-66. |

SP 7342 - West Colton Yard, Bloomington, CA - 8/29/81 |
| Description: |
SP SD40E 7342 (ex-SD40 8470) wore a unique paint scheme for a short time. Painted orange and gray, with scarlet ends, the lettering on the right side was white and on the left was red. The nose wings differed, too, as on the left side there were no orange "fingers" protruding into the scarlet. This engine, seen here at West Colton Yard in Bloomington, California, on August 29, 1981, would in short order be repainted into yet another experimental scheme with more scarlet, matching the scheme worn by rebuilt SD45 7399. |

SP 7823 |
| Description: |
Six-year and five-month old Southern Pacific B30-7 7823 soaks up some sun at the railroads West Colton Yard in Bloomington, California, on September 5th, 1984. Built by General Electric, these 3000 horsepower diesels featured the usual SP appliances, such as the nose-mounted headlight, cab mounted Gyralight, roof-mounted unintended emergency light (a red Gyralight commonly called a "big hole light") and bell, as well as the distinctive FT-B trucks that were standard on these four-axle GEs. |
