Check out this site for just about anything you'd ever want to know about the Central Pacific. Lots of excellent old photos and more.

From the site above, a photo of SP 2-6-0 1629, the former "Gene Autry" engine in the park at Santa Clarita. How is the ressembly coming after the failed attempt to make it run again. Any recent photos?

The locomotive belongs to the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society, which is headquartered in the park. Due to board desires the locomotive was not restored to operating condition, although preliminary work was done and ultrasounds were good. The locomotive could still be made operational. The locmomotive is back together, probably 85 to 90% complete on the outside. Unfortunately it is just stuffed and mounted. They may have more recent pictures on their web site.

While the content is good, I find it an excellent example of why you don't want a colorblind web designer.
