SP ALCo PA-3 on the point of 101 in Martinez, CA

            The classic nose of the PA is displayed at Martinez, CA on the point of the City of San Francisco, along with the distinctive SP attributes of a snowplow pilot, icicle breaker bars and wagon wheel antenna. Having powered the train west from Ogden, Utah, there is only about an hour left in the schedule before tying up in West Oakland.  Martinez was full of action during this era, with 101, when on time, in early afternoon, then 102 would arrive heading east in late afternoon followed by the passing of the westbound San Joaquin Daylight and the north (railroad east) bound Cascade. On this day 101 is two hours late requiring a different set of protection power PAs to take 102 east.
