Remarks & Notes 
I can only imagine how fast they were going here. The stretch between Stockton and Faust on the Lynndyl Subdivision is flat and strait, a real race track. Not sure if the passenger speed in the late 70's was 79 or 89, but I'm sure the were hitting it here. I've always found it crazy that UP had this beautiful set of E's, and got ride of them except 951. Only to reacquire two more later. The front two are 928 E8, and 968B E9B. Tom Ellis photo.
