Last Steam Engine over Soledad Canyon prior to #3751
Author: 2926372

When was the last Steam Engine run on the Soledad Canyon line prior to #3751?  AFT #4449 came down that line in December 1975 from Fresno according to their website.

Pretty sure SP 4449 went over Vincent Hill enroute to LAUPT in 1984 with the New Orleans Worlds Fair Daylight (minus the auxiliary water tender).
