SP GP9E #3193 brings commute train #118 from San Francisco past Santa Clara Tower one afternoon in October 1979 (date approximate). The three car train consists of one 72' Suburban coach (often incorrectly called "Harrimans" by some fans ... they are not, they're "Subs") and two bi-level gallery cars. Despite early testing of push-pull gallery car equipment and operations in the early 1960s, SP never adopted the practice (nor purchased cab-equipped gallery cars) and continued turning locomotives at each end of the run in San Francisco and San Jose. The US&S H-2 style target signals are classic SP, mounted on the same mast and signal boxes that once controlled Style 'B' lower quadrant semaphore signals. Looking at my images from all those years ago only makes me miss the "good 'ol days" and Espee all that much more. |

View of the tower looking northwest from Caltrain's Santa Clara passenger station platform. The tracks veering to the left is the line up the Peninsula heading to San Francisco. The line heading off to the right (and under the overpass) is the ex-SP "Mulford Line" to Oakland, via Alviso and Newark in the East Bay. |
