Well, I finally got to visit the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento! This video contains the following steam train operations during Friday and Saturday when I visited. Granite Rock Co.#10 is still the current operating steamer. UP #4466 was stored in the locomotive shed next to the station during my visit.

  • Is this engine still operating a Scaramento? =)

  • Yes.

    Glenn.

  • no offense glenn, but i like the 4466 better than this engine.

  • I agree with you Dan, but I don't think that the #4466 will run anytime soon. I didn't mind seeing this engine though. Thanks.

  • This engine has been operational for almost 11 years. Kudos to the CA State Railroad Museum to keeping this locomotive well loved & Maintained.

  • This is the most beautiful steam locomotive I have ever seen.

  • Yes it is. I rode on it recently.

  • The engineer is holding back on the whistle. I heard the whistle fully open at Niles, and it packs a punch.

  • It's not only the fact 4466 burns coal, her boiler certificate expired in 1999, and she is in the need of a 1472 day inspection. It's $100K for the overhaul, plus a $50 for converting her to oil. So it's time and fund consuming, and if funds went to 4466, they would go away from Sierra number 3 which is in more of a need to steam again.

  • I'm with you on that, and I was sad to see her go. She'll be back hopefully before #10 goes out for her 15-year overhaul. Sacramento needs steam.

  • What??????? No open air cars?????????

  • AHHHHHH, look at the passenger cars! LOL! There all Southern Pacific!

    Except the red and orange Daylight car.

    They just repainted the top and painted it "Sacramento Southern"]
