The Return of The Polar Express Sacramento 2021 Edition
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!!!
After the California State Railroad Museum’s Polar Express rides were cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19, the Polar Express trains returned in 2021 with COVID-19 protocols. Although the SMUD substation fire on December 14, caused a major power outage in Old Sacramento and disrupted some rides, it was still a great return of the Polar Express trains with many happy families and volunteers joining in on the fun.
The Polar Express soundtrack playing at the station is owned by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Переглядів 3,1 тис.3 роки тому
In March and April of 2021, Robert Dollar #3 pulled the 2021 steam spring excursions at the Niles Canyon Railway. The #3 hasn’t been seen for several years after the locomotive was pulled off from service in 2016 for a full 1472 day rebuild.

In October and November 2020, the California State Railroad Museum and its Sacramento Southern Railroad brought a rare locomotive, the Amtrak F40PHR #281, back to life for the first time since 2005. AMTK 281 was last operated in September 2005, when the F40 and SP 6051 traveled to San Francisco to pick up SP 2467 for a loan display at the CSRM. In May 2020, the SSRR crew brought the F40 out for...

On July 20, 2019, after an 11-year restoration, the Pacfic Locomotive Association reintroduced the last surviving German Krauss Maffei Southern Pacific 9010.

    When Amtrak starts retiring the Amfleet Is for the Airo sets, I hope the CSRM can get their hands on a few of them to put together an Amtrak set. Maybe they can even get a Metroliner cabcar to assemble a 1990s San Diegan set.

    Why not save California Western 46 from the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum? Maybe 46 doubleheading with Clover Valley and Skookum, and then maybe it becomes a Mallet tripleheader.

      The NCRY Steam Department have a lot in their plate right now and that includes: maintaining their two operating steam locomotives, keeping the privately owned Skookum running in good condition and restoring SP 1744. Sometimes doing too much things is a little too much for the steam crew but who knows:)
