Steam & Excursion > When is 3751 going to Fullerton?

I haven't read anymore about when 3751 is going to Fullerton.  Is it going today?  Friday night would seem more logical to me.

No sign of 3751 that I've seen.  I haven't seen it on Fullerton railcam.  At 10:57, nothing headed east towards Fullerton from Metrolink River Sub.

I read that, but there has been no confirmation of that this morning.

A message on the Santa Fe 3751 Facebook page indicates that they will be leaving shortly.  So, as of right now (11:20am PDT) they haven't left Redonado Junction yet. 

At 11:48, nothing lined east from Metrolink Metro Sub.  Surfliner eb at Fullerton Station, eb Z or Q out of LAC due Fullerton in about 15 minutes.  Nothing lined west.

At 11:58, two eb at once lined east from Metrolink Rivewr Sub.  Might be showtime, maybe even a race?

The group just posted they are departing now 1201pm

Sounds like they are rolling as of 12:01pm. Oldest PTC equipped locomotive in the whole wide world I bet..

Cheers, Dave

Looks like 3751 lined into Main 1 east of Fullerton to access display area, after Surfliner Fullerton station stop.

Surfliner at CP Buena Park, 3751 approaching CP Norwalk, at 12:34.

3751 will cross over Main 3 to Main 2 at Basta, Main 2 to Main 1 at Fullerton Jct.  At CP Valley View at 12:40, 8 miles away from Fullerton Jct.

Edit: 5 miles out at 12:42, CP Buena Park.

2nd edit: 3751 at Basta, 2.5 miles away at 12:49.

Surprisingly I think the SD9's have them. 

On the Fullerton railcam at 12:54, Amtrak coach baggage car #6900 first, another Amtrak car, Amtrak Operation Lifesaver locomotive #203, then Santa Fe #3751 steaming backwards on the rear.

Brian, 3751 was built in 1927. SD-9’s we’re built around 1955-56, right?

Ha, yeah, I didn't catch that they meant the steam engine and not the P42 behind it lol

Brian and I have only met twice years ago, he just forgot how old both I and 3751 are....Haaahaaaa
