	Ex SP&S at Bend, Oregon, June 1970 Miscellaneous photos, below:	updated 4/1/06


	Ex NP Tacoma roundhouse, June 1970 - VO1000 #401 & "Torpedo Boat GP9 # 254. The Geep became BN #1877, while the old Baldwin kept her NP number; didn't last much longer.


	Another look at the 401, this time taking a spin on the turntable. It's pretty apparent from the photo that the roundhouse was not long for this world, either.
