Brooklyn Sub Timebook - 1965

Enginemen's Time Book - January 1965 - SP Brooklyn Sub.


Ho-hum, solid sets of SP F-Units on turns between Brooklyn Yard and Eugene. But look at the 6th, and the 8th Krauss-Maffei hood units in their original numbers, each paired with an F7A. Locomotives 9016 and 9005 would become 9116 and 9105 later that year. The KM/F-Unit combo is the same way the Hydraulics were used in the San Joaquin Valley, and I don't think the date is too far off from their transfer down to the flat lands of California. Also of interest is the passenger extra with Alco PA 6025 on the 13th. More to come.
