In 1978, while vacationing in California from NJ, I somehow convinced my parents to spend two days of our vacation in San Jose so that I could railfan. Here are two images from that trip.
Very nice. Your moderator is pleased with these images.
Eric, thanks... for both the kind words and the laugh!

Here's one more from that trip. I know I keep harping on this, but our California vacation was a pretty big deal to my parents. Getting them to give me two days (well, a day and a half) to railfan San Jose was just astounding. Still can't get my wife to let me do that when we drive up to San Francisco now.
An SP turn at the Ford plant. Thanks to another railfan, I got all this information on the train (in the caption), which he recorded of the radio 29 years ago.
