SP PA1 6006 |
| Description: |
SP PA1 6006, Ogden Utah, October 3, 1958, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Sometimes mistaken for a PA3, a model never built by Alco, this locomotive was built as a PA1 in 1948. Due to renumbering in 1949, my best guess is that 6006 was built as 6005C. The following is from the book, A Centennial Remembrance, by Richard T. Steinbrenner (c.2003, On Track Publishers, ISBN: 0911122-07-9): The SPs Pacific Lines basic acquisition policy of A-B-A sets continued to be followed with the PA-2/PB-2 orders. Alco delivered two sets in August-September 1950. By then the SP was using a new numbering system; the PAs continued in the 6000 series, and the PBs were numbered in the 5900 series. The PA-1/PB-1s numbered in the 6000 A-B-C sequence were renumbered into the new scheme, as were the subsidiaries PA-1 units. The SP came back for two more sets in April 1952, and then, in Alcos last big order for PA/PBs, for two batches, which were delivered in June-July and September-October 1953. The first batch was three sets of the usual A-B-As, but the second batch of 12 units was all PAs, equipped with standard Alco pilots. For most of their careers, the SPs Pacific Lines PA/PBs were assigned to the West Oakland Shops for maintenance although for a while seven of the final units were assigned to Taylor Yard in Los Angeles for Coast Line service to San Francisco. While the PA/PBs also operated on the San Joaquin Division on occasion, their principal assignments were on the Shasta Daylight and Cascade trains between San Francisco-Oakland and Portland, OR, and on the Overland route between Ogden, UT and San Francisco-Oakland. Beginning with the 1952 deliveries, the PA-2s came from Alco without pilots, enabling the SP to apply its own design snowplow pilots, built at the Sacramento Shops. The 1953 units incorporated the Model 244G prime mover, which included the new water-cooled turbochargers (Alco Model 710), and had distinctive stainless steel moldings around the windshields. In the meantime, maintenance costs of the 1948-49 PA-1/PB-1s had become problematic, and from July 1952 to March 1953 the West Oakland Shops replaced all their prime movers with 2250 hp Model 244Ds at the rate of four units per month. With the completion of the program, all the SP units were essentially PA-2/PB-2s. In 1956 the SP undertook a modernization program to encompass its entire PA/PB fleet. The prototypes were six high mileage units, which were stripped down to the frame and truss supports, then sandblasted down to bare metal. With GEs guidance, the SP had designed a new electrical equipment cabinet, greatly modernized and simplified. The new cabinets were preassembled and installed into the frame and truss from overhead. All of the previous wiring that snaked through the underframe was replaced and run in the engineroom overhead in troughs for ease of maintenance. Plug electrical connectors were replaced by screw connector blocks for greater reliability. The control equipment was upgraded and repackaged into compartments that featured greater accessibility. The first unit through was #6021, and by June, a three-unit set was ready for road testing. The Sacramento Shops proceeded to rebuild the entire PA/PB fleet in this manner. Externally, the most obvious effect of the upgrade was the application of Farr-Aire grills to all units that did not already have them (Alco had phased in the application of the Farr-Aire grills on the last order for 18 units to the MP in June-July 1952, which eliminated the PAs signature drip strip and horizontal slatted carbody grill). However, on the SP units, the Farr-Aire grills were not continuous along the side; rather solid panels were fixed between the grill sections. |

D&RGW PA1 6011 |
| Description: |
This is northbound Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad's Train Number 2, The Royal Gorge, led by PA1 6011 somewhere north of Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. From front to back: PA1 6011, an unidentifed PB1, a heavyweight RPO, a heavyweight baggage, I believe a diner, a Rock Island Chair Car, a UP Chair Car, one of Rio Grande's domes from the Cheesie train. The rest of the train is the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr Colorado Springs connection (picked up in Colorado Springs) and consists of: a GN coach, a 10-6 sleeper, one of the Chuck Wagon dome/lounge/dormitory cars, a Slumbercoach, and another sleeper. Upon arrival in Denver, a CB&Q Alco S2 will remove the DZ cars and cut them into the waiting Zephyr for the rest of the trip to Chicago. |

D&RGW PA1 6011 |
| Description: |
D&RGW PA1 6011 at Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was Train # 2, the Royal Gorge, daily train between Denver, Pueblo, and Salida (as Train # 1) and return (as Train # 2). It's about 4:00 PM MST, and # 2 has just arrived. Attached to the rear were cars from CB&Q's Denver Zephyr, which this train picked up in Colorado Springs. Upon arrival in Denver a CB&Q Alco S2 switcher removed the Zephyr cars and cut them into the waiting CB&Q Train # 10, the eastbound Denver Zephyr, part of which can bee seen on the far left side. Once the brakes are tested, the Zephyr will depart for its overnight run to Chicago. I was fortunate to be a 16 year old passenger on both trains, and never slept a wink all the way to Chicago, even though my parents had booked a Slumbercoach duplex sleeper room for me. I sat in empty Denver Zephyr dome cars all night to Chicago. I had my choice of two dome cars on # 10, I preferred the forward dome because you could watch the signals change as the train passed each one, but the rear dome was for first class passengers, so it had that advantage. Everyone was in bed and the crew didn't care where I sat. |

D&RGW PA1 6011 |
| Description: |
D&RGW PA1 6011 at Salida, Colorado on August 25, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6011 was built in April 1947 as D&RGW PA1 601A (c/n 74686), was renumbered to 6011 March 6, 1950, traded to EMD on an SD45 order December 20, 1967. It is seen here having arrived in Salida as Train #1, The Royal Gorge. Train #1 left Denver at 9:00 AM with a couple of cars from CB&Q's Denver Zephyr attached. The Zephyr cars were cut off at Colorado Springs and the train continued on to Pueblo where it met its counterpart, Train #2. Train #2 will pick up the Zephyr cars left by #1 and return them to Denver. This train continued on to Salida and will return as #2 departing Salida the next day at 9:00 AM. |

| Description: |
Unfortunately the b&w photo of the Raymond Loewy inspired blue with silver trim doesn't show the beautiful color scheme in this circa 1955 photo at the Kingsville, MO, depot. The unit would be renumbered later to #46. Note the crew member refilling the unit. This loco is new to this site. The date is an approxmation and with Rick Morgan's comment below, was able to identify the location as Kingsville, TX. The station built in 1904 is now the town's train depot meuseum and very well preserved. |
