The 305 is the latest car to be delivered (Sept. 21) I got to pull it dead-in-tow from the Mariposa Yard to Elati Yard using the 270. Two UP GP15 Baby Tunnel Motors brought the car in on a flat car. Mechanics winched it down and connected it to the 270, making sure the (roughly) 150-pin electrical connected were not connected. Safety straps were attached and off we went at 20 mph.
BTW the K37s and various narrow gauge cars were built or rebuilt just across the tracks from Mariposa at Burnham Yard.
