Yolo Short Line

I'm trying to determine the status of passenger excursion operations at this Sacramento-area shortline; are they still around, and is the SP 0-6-0 still in service?

All help greatly appreciated.

YSL now operates under the umbrella of Sierra Northern, with the moniker of "Sacramento River Train." Check their webpage at http://www.sacramentorivertrain.com

There is a link to contact information from that page. The steamer, #1233, appears in photographs, but I didn't delve into the site deeply enough to determine if it's operational.

Perfect! Many thanks.

Erik,
SP#1233 is currently out of service and awaiting new 230 compliance. Although it is located on the Yolo Shortline, it is owned by the local historical railroad society and not by the railroad.
