C628s in the Bull Ring
Title:  C628s in the Bull Ring
Description:  A pair of Alco's lanky C628s wait in the Bone Yard section of the Bull Ring. The unit in the rear, #3110, was actually the class unit on the SP, delivered as #4845 in March of 1965, it later became the #7100 and then the #3110. Meanwhile, #3127 was delivered in April of 1965 as the #4864 before it became the #7117. These units were disliked by the SP crews and did not have a long life with the railroad. Today the exact spot where they are sitting is the fence that separtes Los Angeles State Historic Park from the Metro Rail Gold Line (which runs in the ROW to the left of the big Alcos).

SP 4855
Title:  SP 4855
Description:  ALCO introduced its "Century" series of locmotives in 1963, and the largest model in the initial catalog was designated the C628. Southern Pacific, impressed with the performance of the demonstrator set sent around by ALCO, purchased a group of twenty-five of the massive units (Nos. 4845-4869) in April, 1965. The railroad also acquired the four demonstrator units, numbering them 4870-4873. Then, only a couple of months later on July 1, 1965, the Southern Pacific adopted an entirely new numbering scheme for its locomotives, and the new C628s became the 7100-7128. In this photograph, taken during the short period in the spring of 1965 when the ALCOs carried their first numbers, Nos.4855, 4850, 4852 are approaching the end of their difficult run over the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
