View from Santa Fe PA 67 of the photo line during the Martinez Photo Run-By, 1968
I was riding the Last Run of the PAs - a Richmond (CA) to
Stockton and return event organized by the Pacific Locomotive Association in March of 1968. I approached the conductor as he was about to board the engine after dropping us off for the second photo run by of the day, and asked, or pleaded, to ride the cab on this run-by. He thought about it for a moment, maybe it was my youthful enthusiasm that was working here, but he allowed me to climb up into the cab with him. This is what we all look like from the cab!
