Photos taken on a trip with my dad to Southern California.

Tehachapi Mountains, CA

Mojave

Yard

SP 5308 EMD SD39, SP Class EF623-1

SP 5308
Southern Pacific (SP) SD39 5308 and fellow SD39 5303 switch cars in the SP yard in Mojave, CA on Thursday, March 29, 1973.
Paul Young said, "Switching the West end of the yard. I see the old Union 76 gas station in the background. This is probably the Mojave shorts (LAMJY) setting out & switching it's train. Once that was completed, they would assemble the outbound (MJLAY) train and head East, provided they didn't die on the law. The LAMJY/MJLAY would often have work to do in Palmdale and/or Lancaster. Nice catch, Steve Sloan!"

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.
