Wow....Espee E units. |
| Description: |
Being from the SF Bay Area, we didn't see SP E units, unless we were very lucky to hit some when we went over to the Peninsula to watch trains. So, the sound of these twin-motored units were very distinct, and got our attention as they were coming back from the west end of the engine escape track between platform tracks 7 and 6, after cutting off the inbound "Sunest Limited" that had arrived before the Lark. Power is heading back to Taylor yard for servicing. |

| Title: |
SP E8 6046 |
| Description: |
At least I think it's an E8......PA's went to 6045, and I thought SP had but one E8, and that would be 6046. Still recall how the two 567's in each E seemed to be not quite in snych as they throttled up and down, so it sounded like FOUR units. And they had a different sound from F's and Geeps. |
