After riding the train here it was time to catch some pictures of the trains.
Glenwood South Park and Pacific 2-6-0 5.
Vertical boiler engine.
Redwood Valley 15" gauge 2-4-2 4 "Laurel" built by the railroad in 1965.
Hillcrest and Wahtoke diesel 57 built by Hillcrest & Wahtoke Railroad shops out of sheer need for a workhorse to help build the first major expansion of the railroad. Now I would catch the train running by me.
The train ran by me on the north side of the engine house. As the train went through, I moved to the south end.
My photo runby south of the engine house. I then bought a Tri-Tip sandwich.
The garden railroad here. I walked down the road to catch the train crossing the bridge over the future exit road.
The train crossed the exit road bridge and went back into the station.
After picking up more passengers, the train left the station area.
The train then went by me again heading out into the trees.
After the last trip, they were going to put the train away.
They decided to keep running so the train returned to the station. Chris and I spoke with the staff before we left this unique railroad then stopped for petrol at Traver and took a break at Fraser Park. Chris and I made it to LAUPT where we unloaded the rental car before saying our goodbyes. I drove down Interstate 5 hitting bumper-to-bumper traffic due to an accident on the other side near the 710 Freeway. From there, it moved and I was home by 9:35 PM. This week I would start a long-term substituing job at Santa Ana Valley High School.
