oakland, ca locomotive
Posted by trackpenny on Friday, March 26, 2010 7:38 PM

Years ago, (40 some), there was a SP steam locomotive, business car, caboose and maybe some others in a park near downtown. Does anyone know if they are still there? If not, would you know where they are. Thanks

They're gone.  I don't know about the other items, but the locomotive is now with the Niles Canyon Railway, fully restored, on loan to the California State Railroad Museum.

Thank you. The business car was in beautiful shape in 1970. What a shame. Thanks again for the loco info.
