Western Pacific 608


 

When I took this photo of WP 608 on the Sacramento Northern West Sacramento Port Job passing a UP E9 on the westbound San Francisco Zephyr in Sacramento, California on 2 January 1974, I had no idea that in 26 years or so, the 608 would be at a museum in Portola, California, that the museum would have a Rent a Locomotive program and that I would have a young daughter who would enjoy running the vintage EMD. Caroline ran the engine when we rented it around the year 2000.
