| Following display at the rededication of the ATSF's San Bernardino depot, Class Northern #3751 races west on track that was once the Southern Pacific Baldwin Park Branch. This is Metrolink's San Gabriel Subdivision, a Frankenstein creation of Pacific Electric, Soutern Pacific, and Santa Fe trackage. But the big Northern couldn't care less, and the folks trackside were delighted to see her. While the image doesn't show it, the platforms were packed with locals waiting on 3751. This engine had sat in a park in San Bernardino from 1953 to 1986, but was amazingly brought back to life in 1991. This run was in celebration of the rebuilding of the San Bernardino depot which had sat desolate for decades too. |
