1902 ALCO 2-6-2 (#26264)

The Steam Trains at Disneyland

 

The main reason we took our cross country trip was to go to Disneyland. Working on the Disneyworld Railroad in Florida made us real curious about seeing the California trains. Here's the trains that were running that day:

1894 Baldwin 2-4-4T (#14065)

1925 Baldwin 2-4-0 (#58367)

1955 WED Enterprises* 4-4-0 (#1)

*WED means Walter Elias Disney. This train was build for the park. Later, they discovered it was easier and cheaper to buy and refurbish a locomotive. They carried this idea when they built in Florida.

1937 Montreal 4-6-4 at the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, CA

 Our next stop was a secret one. I didn't reveal to Steam Train Sarah that this train was located at the Nethercutt Museum. This place had a massive collection of vintage and antique cars and vehicles (check it out here). But located out back, they had this 1937 Montreal 4-6-4 on display.

Next up, we found this 1900 ALCO 2-6-0 in a park in Newhall (or Santa Clarita), CA. This mogul was donated by Gene Autry. It is also the oldest ALCO we have come across so far.
