I spent a couple hours today at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. The occasion was a presentation of Richard Steinheimer's work as a kick off to a book release of his photos. He was on hand for signing and he drew quite a crowd. I hadn't been to the museum since they setup the new model train display. Other interesting items on display were WP F7 #913 and Sac Northern 402 both in silver and orange. Thanks to Stein and all those at CSRM for a great day.
