Yikes, yet another SP E unit !!! |
| Description: |
I am surprised I even got this shot, considering we were riding in the coach, and really had no warning of Train 98's approach. Of course, this was the usual meeting point (or south of here) for 98 and 99 at this period of time, since you could ride 98 down from the Bay Area to SLO and then catch 99 right back. I think it was jus a 20 to 25 minute scheduled lay-over between trains, and the surly SP ticket agents would always get nervous about us buying tickets for such a roundtrip, admonishing us that SP would not be responsible for us missing the connection between 98 and 99! Duh. I think we did that trip twice, one time with Parlor Car seats in the boat tail. Yeah, the Coast train still had the real Parlor car on the rear most days, with extra fare for the ride. Oh, and there's a Coast line Geep, under the sanding rig. |
