Steam & Excursion > Some Locations Were Just Made For Steam Motive Power!Date: 03/28/20 02:21 Some Locations Were Just Made For Steam Motive Power! Author: LoggerHogger The sight of one of Southern Pacific's Cab-Forward locomotives at the base of Mt. Shasta in Northern California is one of the all-time classic scenes in the age of steam in the West. The majesty of the snow-capped mountain with the power of the #4165 powering her west-bound freight in this snow covered region simply takes one's breath away.
