Some photos of my railfanning around the East Bay 2018

Hard to believe those U2s are museum pieces now; then again it's been over 25 years since I've rode one. Geez, I'm feeling old...

Yeah the "80's" sound way too recent right?
Here is one more along the line of their usual fare. Portland Traction Company 4001, built in 1929 by by the Kuhlman Car Company. It is currently painted for its original owner, Indiana Railroad.

With the arrival of the Charger locomotives, there are far fewer P42's on the corridor trains these days. The venerable 559PHI's, though probably the last EMD passenger loco to be made, will be around for quite a while yet.

Usual Sunday Geep parade. There were 2 Cotton Belt units in the consist, but I wasn't in the best position to get them in a shot.

Enjoy your shots

Last August, we stayed three nights on the 9th floor of the Emeryville Hyatt House. I sure liked the show on the Capitol Corridor. Nice photos!

Thanks! Great view from the hotel, but it's a shame they are building that beast of a structure next to the depot.

Same train with the waiving conductor

The UPS train is shorter on Sundays, but it still delivers.

Reminds me of the first Super C's. Some of them were very short and run with passenger F units.
