Steam & Excursion > 3751 birth - Baldwin - 1927Date: 01/11/17 07:27 3751 birth - Baldwin - 1927 Author: Spikes Date: 01/11/17 08:54 Re: 3751 birth - Baldwin - 1927 Author: CPRR Nice photo.
I think that 3751 should become the official City of Los Angeles Steam Locomotive. She lives in LA, leaves from LA, most runs are in LA basin. Posted from iPhone Date: 01/11/17 09:13 Re: 3751 birth - Baldwin - 1927 Author: Spikes The 3751 was donated by Santa Fe to San Bernardino, a Santa Fe town. It displayed there for 28 years. It was bought by SBRHS to fully operate. It may someday reside in San Bernardino perhaps. It operated in and out of LA many times during it's career. More runs around the state and even outside are always a possiblility. Support SBRHS.

Unless you count the appearance of the American Freedom Train in January of 1976.

The SBRHS purchased the locomotive from the City of San Bernardino in 1986 for $1.00 with an understanding that they would restore it to operating condition. |
