SP 3352 in Roseville
Southern Pacific GP9R 3352 and GP20R SP 4113 perform hump duties at Roseville on an unrecorded date in August of 1977. As I recall it was unusual to see these types of engines in this type of service. According to WAF, "1977 saw lots of unusual hump power combinations." John "Lone Star" said, "As I recall, 3352 started out as a boiler-equipped, dual controlled T&NO unit. It was reunumbered in 1965 to 3421, lost its dual controls but wore bloody nose wings on both ends until someone realized the boo-boo. When rebuilt in 1971-72, it became 3352."

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.
