Southern Pacific (SP) 3320 in West Oakland, Thursday, April 10, 1952. Photo by either Frank Saarni or Ben Griffiths. This is from a negative that came to me from Dick Dorn and Tom Moungovan. Shot on 122 format film.

Date Unknown

Schellville, CA

NWP Interchange

SP 2937 Schenectady Twelve Wheeler, SP Class TW-3

SP 2937 in in Schellville, CA
My dad, Southern Pacific Engineer Lloyd D. Sloan at work. This has to be in 1952 or 1953. Likely in Schellville, CA. Dad is standing in front of SP 2937. That locomotive is an SP Twelve Wheeler class TW3 built in July 1892. It worked for the Northwestern Pacific (NWP) Aug 1952 to May 1953. The only place the NWP interchanged with the SP was at Schellville, a few miles from Sonoma. SP 2937 was scrapped in Sacramento in 1954. Scan from print, photographer unknown.

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.

Special Thanks
