The Geeps have disappeared from the California Northern on the old SP West Valley Line (Davis to Tehema), but they were out in force to the south on the old SP West Side Line (Tracy to Los Banos) on Monday morning. Here a GP15-1 and a GP38-2 share duty near Gustine California.

Wonder what happened to the Amtrak loco. Edit: I heard that 2009 (CDTX F59PHI) was stuck on a siding down near Atwater California (former home of Castle Air Force Base), With no head end power, the passengers were transferred and the BNSF GE here deadheaded the cars back to Oakland.

While watching the UP from here I also watched this Kite dispatch a mouse for dinner,. This tree sits right on the mainline.

Interesting consist; I'm guessing they were swapping out yard power from Richmond. There is an old SD and a Genset at the rear of this one heading into Franklin Canyon
