Nostalgia & History > Sac. RR Museum SP Diesels early 70's

SP F unit 6402 before the restoration started. to the front of her is E unit 6051 that was later restored back into Daylight paint and behind her is Baldwin 5208 that was put back into the Tiger stripe scheme. Maybe one day 6402 will return to her original colors. Mike Stokinger shot this photo of the dusty locomotives in Sacramento. Who had possession / ownership of these three in the early 70's?

I believe these were donated to the state several years before concrete plans for CSRM came together, when the museum was just in the concept stage. They were stored for several years at the Safeway warehouse off Florin-Perkins Road in SE Sacramento (at the north end of the CCT). Also there was the UP 4466 and the NWP coach.

Here's 6402 leading an eastbound at Truckee in 1961.

Donated in 1970

Check out the "Two Train" light and bell on the Truckee grade crossing signal!

OK, I have to get this off of my chest. The Company didn't save a TRAIN MASTER!

Whine, whimper & etc.

Well, OK, that AS-616 is pretty cool...

Here is a good thread with information on the 6402.

 It's too bad that its restoration stalled.  It looks like it's ready for paint and reassembly.  I wonder what was left to be done before paint.  At least the frame looks to be in better shape than the WP918 was when the PLA guys restored it.
