Second Section

​< Two sections of the "CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO" boarding at Oakland Pier terminal on January 2, 1938. The new Pullman-Standard-built 14-car train (on the left) powered by an A-B-B set of EMC E2s replaced the original articulated PS-built 11-car train (on the right) powered by EMC-powered power cars M-10004 A&B which had been in operation since June 14, 1936, for the SP-UP-C&NW between San Francisco and Chicago.

To save on postage and printing costs, the Spike and Tie to 12 pages. In a constantly evolving railroad industry, along with a very active local railroad preservation community, the amount of news we consider worth sharing with our members often exceeds the space available.

The newsletter staff announces the introduction of a "Second Section,"  with links to articles and topics we would like to include, but don't have room for in the print version of newsletter.
