Steam & Excursion > Here We See A Very Full House Of Nothing But Steam Locomotives!Date: 09/22/20 02:31 Here We See A Very Full House Of Nothing But Steam Locomotives! Author: LoggerHogger This steam citadel has not yet been invaded by diesel locomotives. All that would of course change in just a few short years.
I believe this is Southern Pacific's West Oakland roundhouse, but as the negative sleeve was not marked, I cannot be sure. Regarless, it is a sight to behold. Martin Edited 4 time(s).

Thanks that very much answers my question makes much more senes now. Knowing how much more it took to keep them running can understand what looks like dead engines. |
