Various photos taken, or thought to be taken, on this date.

Oakland

West Oakland

Homestead

SP 1170 EMD SW900

1170 in Oakland
Southern Pacific SW900 1170 at West Oakland on October 4, 1974.. According to OPRRMS on Altamont Press on May 6, 2014:
On the 70 Lead at the Homestead. Carman's shanty in right background. Yard air compressor building and tank in left background. GP9 (in yard service) laying over on the "House Track" behind it.

The 1170 had been assigned to the NWP and briefly worked in Oakland before being sent to Houston for rebuilding.

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

All the great folks who helped me out with information for these Web pages!
