Portola Railroad Days are only two weeks away and I wanted to share the photos I took at last year's event. There is a ton of great equipment in all stages of restoration including quite a few running locomotives. They ran an all-caboose train around most of the day (unlimited rides!) led by a pair of beautiful silver and orange early EMDs (2001 & 707). I encourage everyone to take the trip to this safe haven for some real classics. Enjoy this week's photos of Western Pacific 805A and 708 along with my favorite Southern Pacific kodachrome 2873...
