Western Railroad Discussion > AT&SF OD color Baggage car at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall FairDate: 10/14/17 09:53 AT&SF OD color Baggage car at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall Fair Author: ATsf2921-4-8-4 If someone has photographs of the AT&SF baggage car located at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall in Fairfield California
would you be so kind to publish them in this blog site. NMSL&RHS's AT&SF 4-8-4 2926 in Albuquerque is in the market for a tool car and this baggage car would be ideal and is a perfect match for 2926. The NMSL&RHS needs to see a photograph of the car but I can't locate any.

True but the Ohio car does not match the time period of 2926 and the AT&SF baggage car in Fairfield CA is perfect.

It sounded like those cars had been cut up quite a bit to incorporate them into the mall building.

Posted from iPhone Date: 10/14/17 22:19 Re: AT&SF OD color Baggage car at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall Author: 350 The Western Railway museum at Rio Vista Jct had a ATSF Baggage car. However I believe they gave it to a farmer down the valley out side of Patterson, CA for his static train display......? Perhaps the farmer would be willing to donate this car to the New Mexico group?????

If so, could you post it on this site? Thanks Pat Date: 10/15/17 18:59 Re: AT&SF OD color Baggage car at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall Author: wpamtk Here's a couple photos taken on 9-15-08, at Stevinson, CA (near Merced), at a farm-themed dining/entertainment venue whose name I don't recall. Baggage car ATSF 1772 is part of a train consist used as a restaurant. I believe the baggage car is used as a gift shop. Had to crash a wedding reception to get these photos (but nobody seemed to mind).

The museum used the car for archives and storage of their library. The car was always stored in side car barn No.2.......

What is the story on the 4-4-0. I don't see builders plate on the smokebox. James R.(Jim) Baker Whittier, CA Date: 10/15/17 23:39 Re: AT&SF OD color Baggage car at Cordelia Junction Antique Mall Author: wpamtk The venue is called the Double T Ranch. Their website (www.thedoublet.com) has a brief history of each piece of railroad equipment. The 4-4-0, was originally UP, then SP. In more recent years, it found it's way through various museums before it reached the Double T.
An interesting feature of the dining experience is the simulation of train movement, sort of like in the Pullman car at CSRM. In the Double T's case, a winch tightens and loosens cables that run under the train, making it rock and vibrate a little. The first photo shows the shed at the end of the track that houses the winch. In the second photo, you can see the cables between the rails extending beneath the caboose. Not listed on the website roster, they also have an idler flatcar from the San Francisco Belt RR (third photo). Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/15/17 23:43 by wpamtk.
