Date: 08/28/14 15:55 Re: SP Suntan Special Author: sagehen That's a great picture, but what was the Sun Tan Special doing in Felton? In 1953, that's a mile or two from the end of a dead-end branch.

Date: 08/28/14 18:06 Re: SP Suntan Special Author: 2720 The SD&AE 104, ex SP 2720 is my favorite steam locomotive!!
I spent many years as a kid working on and staffing the 104 before and during the yearly Del Mar Fair in San Diego and helped prep it for the move to PSRM Campo! Lots of great memories, but I was too young to ever see it in operation. Only in my mind's eye!! Thanks for posting this great photo!
