Southern Pacific 4-6-0 #2353
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Friday, July 19, 2013 9:27 PM

I recently came across some photos I shot back in 1998, at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, CA. There are a lot of great shots of former SP steam locomotive #2353, which saw use on the San Diego & Arizona Railway. In the late 1990s this beautiful loco was running excursions. Since sometime around 2000 or so, it's been out of service due to the need for a new boiler. Anyway, I've posted these pics to my website, hopefully some will find them useful for modeling reference or simply enjoy seeing this great steel beast:


You can see the rest of the pics here:

Enjoy!

I was at Campo in January. I think this Loco is the one stored in the Museum building there. It is quite impressive.

Ont the ride out to the first tunnel when, we got half way into the tunnel my cell  phone rang informing me that to call to the US use country code 1. Gee, I left my passport back in San Diego.
