4 Scarlet (now pink) & Grey along Alameda
I can get excited with one former Espee scheme in a consist, but Santa really brought a present today, as seen at the top of Dolores (I think the spot is called the Bullpen). I could see 2 of them very early this morning, hidden behind the usually assortment of Armour Yellow. But when I left the first jobsite around 10, most of the chaff was gone and this set was getting fueled.
Made my day!

SP 317 (alias UP 6405), SP 110 (alias UP 6153), SP 201 (alias UP 6269), and SP 175, now known as UP 6222.
The head and tail units were NOT former SP's that had already got caught in the spray booth. That would have been way too much luck for one stop & grab!
