Just before I left California I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to stop by the Southern California Railway Museum, which most of you know is one of my favorite places on Earth, on an afternoon when they were running several of their vintage Los Angeles streetcars and their only operating steam locomotive the former Ventura Railroad number 2.
Walking around the museum grounds was always a slice of heaven for a railroad geek like myself, you never knew what part of their vast collection of vintage railroad locomotives and rolling stock will be operating from day to day. If you let yourself drift away in a fog of imagination you can convince yourself that somehow you have time traveled back to the time when steam locomotives were pulling trains and people road streetcars instead of driving automobiles. It is my hope that viewing these images will allow your to take the journey back in time that I experienced that afternoon.
If you are a railroad fan like myself I strongly recommend planning a trip to Peris, California and the amazing Southern California Railway Museum.
