Old Time Classic Photo's Of The Locomotives On The Roster Of The "New" JJJ & E

Classic old time photo's are images captured on a thin piece of silver plated copper. Since no negatives are produced, copies could not be made and each photo is considered "unique". There are many "classic" old time photo's of locomotives on the roster of the "New" JJJ&E.

An old time photo of a UP "Big Boy" #4006 entering San Marino on the inner mainline track. The major RR crossing in San Marino is on the left side of this photo. This steamer just fits on the 130' turntable near the Switching Yard. This locomotive will pull 60 cars on level track and also on the 1 1/2% grade on the mainline east of San Marino.

Old time classic photo of a UP "Challenger" #3977 on the bridge of the turntable. The "Challenger" is ready to leave the turntable on one of the two exit tracks to the Switching Yard. The 24 stall Roundhouse is in the background filled with steamers of all sizes. Most of the stalls of the Roundhouse are filled with steam locomotives of all sizes.

Classic Old Time Photo Of UP  4-8-4  # 837 With Smoke Deflectors Climbing the long 1 1/2% grade east of San Marino in the Monterrey Mountains. This steam locomotive has massive very rigid drivers and does best on radii of at least 19 inches. I used the two decoder approach in this steam locomotive. A Lenz mini silver decoder controls motor functions and a Soundtraxx "Micro" Tsunami Heavy steam decoder controls sound functions, There is a mini-oval speaker in the tender which has ample room for two decoders and a speaker.
