Altamont Springtime Special for Tuesday


 

In April 1975, a circle excursion was run on the SP lines Oakland-Fremont-Niles Canyon-Pleasanton-Altamont-Tracy-Martinez-Oakland, California.? The train had 5 ex-SP Fs, a dozen or so ex-SP cars that Amtrak used for the Reno Fun Train and extra cars on west coast trains as needed and private car La Condesa on the end.

Here are 5 photos

Looks like a 25A light red filter was used for the shots at the west end of the canyon.

I have spent a fair number of days on Altamont over the last twenty-five years, but it isn't much these days with UP.? I am sorry that I missed seeing SP through Altamont and Pleasanton -- and I missed that by a lotta years, I know.
