November, 1954 - As a GP7 switches cars along the South Fork wye a few miles outside of Johnstown, a manifest freight and a passenger train race by. The crew of the passenger train gives a friendly "toot toot!" and a wave as they pass by. Route Used: Horseshoe Curve Locomotives Used: EMD GP7, PRR K4
Passenger numbers may have been down during the early to mid 1960's as the automobile and air travel ate away at the railroads, but that didn't stop LAUPT from being any less hectic during rush hour. Here, we see an unidentified stainless steel passenger train depart, most likely one of the Santa Fe's San Diegan trains running behind schedule. On the next track over, we see a Southern Pacific commuter train pulling into the station with a mix of light and heavyweight cars behind it. Next to that, a Union Pacific switcher prepares to couple to the back of a consist in order to pull it into a near by coach yard for servicing. And finally, just barely in frame, we see a set of UP F7's, ready to depart with the Overland Limited. Route Used: Pacific Surfliner Locomotives Used: EMD GP9, EMD SW10, EMD F7
