Richmond Pacific Railroad #1195
Caught this in Sunol, CA today. (2-1-2012)
Southern Pacific fans will notice it's obvious heritage. She's complete light wise as well, both front and rear have SP's full compliment is Gyralite/Mars lights (Though the beacon on the top of the number boards is gone)
Below is #1195 after being sold off by the SP. Note the REALLY chintzy paint-over!

The AAR Type A switcher trucks were farther down the road near the Niles shop parked alongside the driveway.
Model: EMD SW900
Serial #: 19645
Frame #: 4276-5
Date Built: 06/1954
Heritage: ex Parr Terminal 1195, ex SP 1195, ex SP 1176, ex SP 4630
As her #1175 numbering.

I'm a touch puzzled why NCRy shipped it via truck as opposed to Dead In Tow on the UP to their connection. Shipping by truck resulted in a slip of the wood cribbing while in transit which resulted in one of the trailer main-beams creasing the fuel tank.
