SOCAL - Get Ready! Here She Comes!

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, (May 1-2, 2010), southern Californians will have a rare opportunity to see a famous steam locomotive, the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society’s Santa Fe 3751 as she powers the Central Coast Railway Club and the Pacific Locomotive Association joint special - the San Diego Steam Special-II.

The legendary 3751 is a Baldwin Locomotives Works 4-8-4 ‘Mountain’ type locomotive which entered service with the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway in 1927. She was initially assigned duty on Santa Fe’s crack passenger trains like the all-Pullman California Limited, the Fast Mail Express, the Grand Canyon Limited, and the Navajo.
