UP 8444 at west Norden signal bridge
Title:  UP 8444 at west Norden signal bridge
Description:  Stopped for inspection. Note that the "village" of bunkhouses and the beanery are still standing in the left background. Sure miss them. Also, see the bottom unlit TO (Train Order signal. Rule 221 Train Order Office locations Sacramento Division Timetable 15 of 1981) signal on the left signal bridge leg above the orange chevron for EB movement on No. 2 track. Above that are two signals, presumably for movement in the Norden shed, although I can find no reference to them in my collection of SP timetables from that era.
