    Hi, Kendall. Not really related to this video, but did you know that Raymond, CA was the terminus in the San Joaquin Valley when Teddy Roosevelt made his famous trip with John Muir to Yosemite? There is remnant track and a railcar by the museum and you can see where a railway turntable was located there

      There had been an issue with a tree that fell on the tracks that day and the train was 4 hours delayed arriving in Colfax. It was supposed to stop there and the town of Colfax had big plans. To make up time from the tree incident, they had to canceled the planned stop. It was a long day, but I actually prefer the rolling footage. Thanks for watching.

    I was the interviewee at the 6:45 mark. Thanks for including my comments in this video. My family has lived in Portola since the early 2000s, and we love our trains. My family used to go frequently to the famous railroad museum in Portola where Big Boy made his day-long stop. We would ride the cabooses around the loop in the yard, and I even took part in the museum’s famous Drive-A-Locomotive program. For special events, they would also bring out large model train sets. So to experience that all again many years later (not to mention another a steam engine pulled the cabooses this time) brought back a lot of nostalgia and memories. The last time I remember a steam train making a big appearance was in 2009 when UP’s No. 844 visited Portola.

Same for the WP 1500; it was the last switcher for WP, but not their last ordered power. Interesting that WPRM has one of the WP's last steam switchers, their first diesel switchers(also their first diesel -electric locomotive) and their last ordered switch engine.
