According to good sources, SD&AE 102, C-31 Consolidation, Serial No. 54973. Built: 1914 Schenectady Locomotive Works (ALCo). These were the last locomotives purchased new by the railroad. According to P. Allen Copeland and. Joseph A. Strapac, "Nos. 101 and 102 were generally similar to S.P. contemporary locomotives of the type, being delivered with Vanderbuilt tenders, but equipped with modern Walschaerts valve gear and piston valves. The class assigned by the S.P. was C-31." Scrapped: 1953.

SD&AE 102 leading extra 2354, Jacumba, CA

SD&AE 102 at Jacumba, CA. According to Evan Werkema, "According to information compiled by Scott Inman, this would be the Railroad Boosters' "Carriso Gorge" excursion of October 15, 1939."

Mike on Trainorders said:

Train is east bound towards the Carriso Gorge, a little more than 3 1/2 miles ahead!
There is a lot going on in the photo, most of which is no longer around, the water tower the shed to the left of the reefer and boxcar on the siding to the left and the storage tank in the background. Just over the top of the steel shed, you can see part of the Jacumba Depot which is still there. The train order pole in front of the depot is gone. That was a Standard Oil Distributor for this area in the background over the train.

Photographer most likely Bill Darrough, from the Darrough Collection. Since negatives were extensively traded it's possible Bill was not the photographer. Photos from this collection have been shared with permission from Jack Darrough, obtained before he died.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent.
