A pair of former SP tunnel motors and a Rio Grande GP40-2 take a Roseville to San Jose manifest past Pinole, California in March of 2002. The t-motors were in their last days of service. First for their age, and second for the closing of the yard at San Jose just two years later.
Another BNSF morning eastbound rolls over a girder marked for its old owner in Pinole, California. You can still see some markings of the Santa Fe on the old Stockton Sub, as seen here in April of 2000.
Now here's an unusual lashup: A brand new C45AC-CTE and an old ex-SP GP40-2 that has just been repained. This handsome pair heads west at Pinole with an Oakland bound stack train.
