| This view was taken from the vestibule of a high-level coach on the westbound SUNSET as the train left the Southern Pacific's Avondale Yard and crossed Avondale Garden Road. The SP MP15AC was switching in the railroad's Avondale Yard and the three MP geeps, on the other side of that Lincoln Mk IV, were on a northbound train in that railroad's Avondale Yard. Behind the three high-level coaches were dormitory-lounge 3395, diner 8035, 10-6 sleepers 2602 PACIFIC BEAUTY, 2629 PACIFIC RIDGE and 2695, and dome-observation 9253 SILVER LOOKOUT. In just a couple of minutes SDP40F's 568 and 542 would have their 10-car train up to the speed limit of 70. |
