Steam & Excursion > Street Running With Steam Was All Part Of The Steam Era!Date: 01/14/20 02:22 Street Running With Steam Was All Part Of The Steam Era! Author: LoggerHogger Back in 1940 when Southern Pacific #2465 was running down the streets of Oakland, California, no one gave it a second thought. This was simply the daily ritual played out on many railroads around the country at a time when steam power still dominated.
Today, however, we stop and take notice when we see a photo like to to remind us how things were back then. Martin Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/20 02:25 by LoggerHogger.  Date: 01/14/20 04:58 Re: Street Running With Steam Was All Part Of The Steam Era! Author: robj Great view, thanks.
