She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain
The Santa Fe 3751, is a Pioneer 4-8-4 type, and saw regular service from 1927 to 1953. It now belongs to the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society and is a fully restored and working steam locomotive.

Captured on the return trip from San Diego to Los Angeles. The train was traveling at a high rate of speed, if you look closely you can see the engineer and some of the passengers!

  Thank you for all of your kind comments. I waited by the tracks for over an hour because I was determined to get a close up, front view, of this locomotive as it went by. It was worth it!

Take care,

Donna

  Thanks again to each of you. Your comments are very cool!

I have never seen a steam engine up close like this, it was very fast and powerful!!! And the engineer was blowing the whistle!!!

If you ever get the chance to see a Steam Locomotive, in person, I highly recommend it. You should have seen all the people lined up along the tracks waiting! I was lucky to find a remote location to capture this!
