Western Pacific APF "Auto Parts Forwarder" |
| Description: |
It's a little after the absolute crack of dawn and we left the rest of the family asleep at our motel to catch the "Auto Parts Forwarder" arriving into Milpitas CA, about to duck under Calaveras Boulevard with an almost pure first generation consist of a Sacramento Northern GP7, a Western Pacific GP7, a Western Pacific F7 and a lone second generation intruder of a Western Pacific U23B. The lens lice is Charles J Freericks (CKF's son). The APF was a Stockton to Milpitas train made up of auto parts and general merchandise. |

SN 712 heads up the APF |
| Description: |
The Sacramento Northern was a subsidiary of the Western Pacific, which by 1978 rostered two locomotives, former WP GP7s #711 and #712. On this early morning, #712 lead Western Pacific's APF, the "Auto Parts Forwarder" up to the Milpitas Wye. Behind the train is the large Ford plant, which was the lifeblood of the Western Pacific at that time. GP7 #712 was delivered to the Western Pacific in April of 1953. After retirement, it went to the Western Railway Museum in Niles, California. Later still, it was sent to the Western Pacific musuem in Portola, California, where it is located today. |

WP APF "Auto Parts Forwarder" in front of Ford |
| Description: |
The "Auto Parts Forwarder" is probably beginning to bleed off its caboose now before kicking it to their outbound cut. Then they would shove the rest of their loads into the track they were delivering to. The "Auto Parts Forwarder" had begun its journey in Stockton about six or seven hours earlier. Called at midnight 7 days a week for San Jose. It carried South Bay manifest and Ford products that were less time sensitive. Three three lead engines all made it to museums, 712 and 917 to Porola and 713 to Niles. Only the U-Boat (the baby in the bunch) doesn't survive today. |

Western Pacific SJM "San Jose Manifest" |
| Description: |
The "San Jose Manifest" outbound waits silently on track #1 of Milpitas Yard while its crew has gone to beans. The cut of cars on track #3 (with the mid 1950s era International bay window caboose) may be the FF "Fast Ford" or a local. If you look to the far right, there are some garbage truck bodies on a flat car, probably being delivered to Ford. U23B #2265, which rode on Blomber trucks from an EMD trade in, was delivered in June of 1972, making it 22 years younger than the F7 right behind it. |
