Back in West #Oakland on Sunday. Nice #StreetArt around here.
The train mural captures a moment in time, because it shows a #SouthernPacific locomotive in most of it's original paint scheme (nicknamed "bloody nose" by railfans) very minimally relabeled after the merger with the #UnionPacific (that's the yellow rectangle with stenciled-on new numbers).

A building with a wraparound mural on two sides, showing a train and the port.  There's a colorfully decorated RV on the street.
My kid is taking a picture with a new (to him) Yashica TLR.The train side of the wraparound mural.  There's a motto, "West Side is the Best Side".A mural on the side of a wood-frame building, with a (Koi?) fish and a flower.Mural on a chain-link fence with wooden slats.  It shows two militant Oaklanders in a cartoonish style.

My family worked for the #railroads for three generations (my dad, his dad, and his mom's dad). It broke our hearts when privately owned railroads (#UnionPacific, specifically) gave up on passenger rail back in 1971. It's breaking my heart to see #Amtrak on the verge of being destroyed. Privatizing Amtrak is going to mean eliminating it. Private railroads stopped passenger service because it wasn't profitable. Who believes that's going to change?

Big loco collection of the day.

A quick question for some railroad folks: I have a dataset which contains around 10 points (fire hydrants) where the owner is listed as "SPRR", located along a segment of railroad track in Eugene, Oregon. I made the assumption that SPRR means Southern Pacific Railroad. Is it a safe assumption to say that Union Pacific now owns the hydrants?
