"It's more "weathered" in the second photo, but then I noticed the photos appear 30+ years apart! I wonder if it was even in use in the second photo, there is some pipe or rail missing from the top area in the second photo…"

California Western #53/57/56 w/b train
"Now I realize you were on the mixed train excursion. The shot I photographed was an unexpected meet of the regular Extra 46 West Super Skunk. There'd been more than the usual quantity of loaded freight cars headed east so they dispatched Work…"

Probably the Espee MK-2 & MK-4 Mikes (2-8-2's) at 265,000 lbs. The SP P-11 Pacifics also ran for a bit on the lower half, but they were only 239,500 lb. locos. Both types are documented in Fred Stindt's NWP Vol. 1…"

"Wow! One never knows who was on these trips and how everything kind of comes together as time passes. Thanks for the location correction. My neg file says Ranch, but my mind was saying Northspur when I posted this. I still…"

"Geez, Bob...I think I was standing just up the tracks while you were shooting this! I have a different version from my camera looking toward the oncoming 53 with the 46 in the hole to my right. These meets almost never happened!
By the way, this…"

SP 8992 in Eureka 1971
"Fred...
You found it! Imagine not one but two SD-45's at Eureka. And there are those "experts" that contend it never happened. Thanks for sharing a little unique NWP history with us.

"Fred...
Thank you. Too bad that pic disappeared. We all have a few of those missing photos, right?!! I appreciate the info. Makes one wonder why we didn't see more of that if the weight limits permitted it.
Bob"

"Bob...I was on the SP9043 heading South out of Eureka in Oct 1972, and I had a picture I took at Fort Seward when we stopped to eat. I have NO clue what ever happened to that picture. I do however have a picture which I just saw recently of the…"

So far, as I remember, no one has posted evidence of SD-45's (or other "heavy" SP power) operating north of Willits. Are you saying that you saw them in Eureka while working there? That would be good information to…"

"SD-45's very seldom made it to Eureka. I just wish I would have had my camera with me back in my brakeman days in 1971-72."

Other end of the NWP: Napa Jct.
I've posted three pictures of Napa Junction from August of 1966. SD-7 #2736 is newly "patched" and renumbered from #5329. This engine worked The Redwood and many freights on the NWP and is boiler equipped even at this late date. I've also included a close-up of the nose so modelers can see the front end detail and the Mars light attachment detail.
I'll post two pics of Schellville shortly.

Robert, the photos you contribute are so outstanding and interesting I just want to feature all of them! You might consider creating an album the next time you upload images so I can feature the album rather than individual images (though don't feel like you have to -- we'll take the photos any way we can get them!). Thank you so much for your contributions! Regards,
Mark D.
