Doing some publicity work somewhere, long ago. Not sure where roundhouse is, perhaps Bayshore, just south of San Francisco?http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-RAILROAD-PHOTOS-1_W0QQitemZ6569785226QQcategoryZ35975QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

According to the most awesome book on Daylight engines by Mr. Robert J. Church, the image of the Bowker with a daylight was in April 1946 at San Jose after the Noon Daylight was reinstated after WWII.J |

Hi,Was the JW Bowker used in one of teh episodes of "Casey Jones"? There is an episode where he is given an old locomotive to crash and fake a lawmans death. The locomotive looks an awful lot like the JW Bowker.Just curious.Stuart |

My best guess would be Bayshore for the roundhouse photo as well. The turmtable drops a huge hint, and the scenery doesn't look much like Mission Bay (and it definitely is not San Jose, though the other photo may certainly have been taken there) |
