 I shot all of the above photos at about 3:00 am in College Park Yard on the morning that the Freedom Train left San Jose, December 17, 1976, after sitting on display at the site of SP's former San Pedro Street station. This was a singular event for me, because I had never before done any foaming, er, HISTORICAL RESEARCH at that time of the night, and I swore that I would never do that again. Of course, shortly thereafter, as a new-hire SP switchman, I rarely saw the sun from a yard goat. So much for resolutions. - c.E.O.

Background photos notes: This page's was shot at Santa Clara. The tender shot on the San Francisco page was photoed at College Park, as was the Content Page pic of 4449 / 2883.
