These are some of my first railroad photos. I began shooting slides in early 1959 and then moved up to medium format films in 1960. There will be more photos added to this section as I scan them.

Lots of first generation diesels, F-units, Gp-9's, Alco's, etc. Also in this section are some of the second generation diesel power including SD40's and SP's unique Tunnel Motors. These photos were taken from early 1960 into the early 80's. They cover the SP from the Bay Area to Donner Pass and from the Mt Shasta Area to Los Angeles.
