Steam & Excursion > Another Steam Meets ZephyrDate: 07/14/14 08:14 Another Steam Meets Zephyr Author: Auburn_Ed I seem to recall this was at Niles. 1959. In this case, both engines are Western Pacific.

Great photo, thanks! Edit: Fremont was incorporated in 1956, so technically it is Fremont at the time of the photo. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/14/14 09:53 by GoldenState.

I wish we had everything in that photo now. Sigh.... Date: 07/14/14 17:29 Re: Another Steam Meets Zephyr Author: wpjones Great Photo! I was 2 1/2 and lived just down the tracks in Livermore where I would see the Zephyr pass behind the A&W.
Steve Date: 07/15/14 04:51 Re: Another Steam Meets Zephyr Author: Evan_Werkema Was this the WP 50th anniversary event where they added the 94 to the point of the Zephyr at Fremont (August 22, 1960)?
Date: 07/15/14 07:45 Re: Another Steam Meets Zephyr Author: Auburn_Ed I don't believe so. I (my family) left California in March of 1960. However, I must admit that my recollection of the #94 meeting the Zephyr was at the Pleasanton Golf Course, not Niles. On a couple occasions. friends and I would "motorcade" trips. I don't think that would be possible today with so much growth having taken place.
