Nice shots, Jonathon. Reminds me of my visit there in '06. I liked the shots from the overhead walkway. We didn't have time to get up there, and now I know what we missed.

Did I see a couple of shots of the Salinas Valley too?

Posted by JONATHON (Member # 2899) on :

Yes you did [Smile]

Nice pictures Jonathon. You probably know this already, but that one picture of the UP locomotive with the blue tarp covering the front I'm pretty sure is one of the units from the Chatsworth/Metrolink crash.

Realy!? let me check the number on it..

Posted by JONATHON (Member # 2899) on :

OMG It is, this is UP 8491 this is the second unit in the Chatsworth Disaster

Jonathon--

Your skill as a photographer just keeps getting better and better. I especially liked the last shot.

Absolutely agree! The 3/4 shot of the locomotive in the diorama at the museum is stunning.....better than the shot they have on their postcards even.

I look forward to you having the chance to pursue trains in other parts of the country as you get a little older and more mobile because I know the pictures you post are just going to keep getting better.

I agree with the others here, great shots! May I ask what camera and lens you were using?

Where did you find that water tower? For years and years after dieselization, SP had a water tower near Gaviota trestle. One day in the late 70s, it was gone [Frown]

The Water Tower is just across from the San Luis Obisbo Station
