During our move from Washington to California my wife and I stopped in Sacramento to visit the California State Railroad Museum. I hadn't been since early 2012, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Santa Fe 5021 and 2925 getting some much needed attention. They still have a long way to go (especially 2925) but atleast some progress is being made.

Big steamers I can not tell what type thou.Is one of them a texas type locomotive?
Based on my limited knowledge of Santa Fe engines, 5021 is a Texas-type possibly. 2925 is definitely a Northern.
Hello guys and gals........
It is very pleasing to see the 5021 and 2925 finally something to be done to get them fixed up after all those years !!!!!!!!!! We never had a chance to get close to the 5021 but would like to though even sit in the cab. It has been really heart breaking to see them the way they were until now which is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope they put the rest of the parts back on after painting. I wish to renumbered my Sunset 3rd S.F. 5011 to 5021 but don't have the decals to do that. keep the pictures coming !!! This really made our day !!!! SMILE.

Thanks for the reply.As a child I recall looking through the sears catalog.Christmas time they had huge train set.Bachmann had a santa fe steam locomotive and it was a texas type.I can not tell you how may boxcars it had.It was big for a train set.I think it came with four switchs.I really wanted that set but my parents said not enough room for it.It was h.o. back in the 1970s bachmann had some big sets they even had the nw j in a set.Seeing the big texas steamer I bet going through small towns it made the ground shake.
