SP MIOAY North and East Autos, the Turn out of Oakland  Contributor's Pick!       
Building air in Milpitas is the MIOAY. This train started the day as the BROAT reaching Oakland that morning at 8AM as the 8400West, 6 1/2 hrs late. It became the X Auto Racks at 1p (on-time) as Extra 8400East (OAMIY) hitting Milpitas and becoming the MIOAY North and East Autos in this picture. It returned to Oakland about 8:15p as the 8400West. The OABRT with some of these autoracks left Oakland about 11:30p, 55 minutes late on its schedule and the balance of these autoracks left Oakland for the east on the OAOGF about 2a on Aug 2 (30 minutes early) the next morning for the UP.
