We're still in Veracruz, 1962. I'd have been a lot earlier had my mouse not quit when I booted up my computer this morning. I had to wait for Radio Shack to open to get on line!

Former PE 203 loads at the downtown trolley and bus terminal. Quite a busy place in 1962, isn't it?


Ex. PE 203 is still painted in Pacific Electric colors except for the front panel, which evidently was involved in a collision, requiring straightening and painting.


Good thing it was Sunday, as this line to the cemetaries only runs on that day, on private right of way.


Next week, the last of Veracruz.

A few shots from Overlook Bridge taken last Saturday:


Always good to see some pre-merger paint schemes:





Three trains all moving.  Two westbound, 1 eastbound.



NS highhood:



Next week some shots at Rockville and Marysville taken the same day.
