The Ghost Trains of SP's Overland Route, Train Nos 21-22 – Second Section
By Randall E. Cape and Robert G. McKeen

Overshadowed on the Overland Route by the rest of Southern Pacific's passenger fleet, Nos. 21 and 22, Mail, ran between Oakland and Ogden from 1947 to 1967. Operated primarily for the United States Post Office Department and the Railway Express Agency rather than passengers, these workhorse trains conveyed vast amounts of head end traffic, quietly, efficiently - and very profitably. The Ghost Trains of SP's Overland Route provides a comprehensive review of the history, operations and makeup of these little-known trains. The book takes readers "on board" and describes activities in all of the working areas of the train - from the engine cab to the rear rider car, and everything in between.

This expanded second edition adds to the prior edition's presentation with new images, many in color, and related documents that have become available, helping fill out the story of Train Nos. 21 and 22. This Second Section - Westward takes readers on a photographic journey headed from Ogden to Oakland. Along the way, it provides new insights as it covers the trains, locations they frequented, and operations along the route. Operations at the previously under-examined SP West Oakland Mail Dock and REA Express Oakland Key Point terminal are the subject of special attention in this expanded volume.

• Car Number: #474268

Prototype & Historical Significance:
The Pennsylvania Railroad was one of America’s most influential railroads, operating an enormous fleet of freight equipment across the eastern United States. Flatcars like the F30A were designed to handle versatile cargo that could not fit inside standard boxcars, making them indispensable for industrial and military shipping. These cars could frequently be seen carrying construction equipment, steel products, vehicles, and other heavy loads throughout the PRR system and connecting railroads.

Perfect for collectors, Pennsylvania Railroad enthusiasts, and HO Scale operators looking to add realistic freight operations to their layout.

The Union Pacific Challengers were simple articulated 4-6-6-4 steam locomotives built by American Locomotive Company for the Union Pacific.  Union Pacific built 105 of these locomotives between 1936 and 1943. The Challengers were 122 ft (37 m) long, weighed 284,800 kg, and operated over most of the Union Pacific system, primarily in freight service.  The excellent Challenger design allowed for increased speed on mountain grades compared to UP’s previous articulated steam locomotives. 

This BLI model is of the Class CSA-2 Challenger, commonly called an “early challenger”.  Our models have a post-1947 appearance, after the locomotives were renumbered from 3900 to 3800 series.We are offering three locomotive variations: four road numbers with the as-delivered front engine, four road numbers with a rebuilt front engine, and two road numbers with an integral cast cylinder front engine.All of our models are oil-burners with 19,000 gallon cylindrical tenders.  We are also offering one painted but unlettered model of each variation, and we will build a small quantity of one model with all parts either varnished brass or painted brass.This model will have the as-delivered front engine.
