Looks like it from the SCE substation in the background. That little yard has seen an amazing variety of locomotives over the decades and still does.

   Date: 04/06/10 08:38 Re: Union Pacific Golden Spike Train Pomona, Ca. 1969 ( Author: steamco I remember seeing this display train at the UP Glendale Freight Station. Anyone have pictures of it there?
Date: 04/06/10 13:21 Re: Union Pacific Golden Spike Train Pomona, Ca. 1969 ( Author: davew833 Where are they now? The locomotives standing in for 'Jupiter' and '#119', V&T's 'Dayton' and 'Inyo' are back at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. The Union Pacific Centennial exhibit car is at the Ogden, UT., railroad museum in sore need of restoration. I wonder where the other vintage equipment ended up.

As an episode of our Locomotion- Trains in the Movies YouTube video series we're producing a video on The Virginia & Tuckee locomotives and their careers in the movies. Would it be possible to use your photos of the UP Centennial Train? We will give photo credit. locomotion.show@gmail.com Regards, Robert Diepenbrock Date: 07/31/21 16:46 Re: Union Pacific Golden Spike Train Pomona, Ca. 1969 ( Author: mundo My gress is a 5300 series chair car.
