SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California State Railroad Museum and its support group, the California State Railroad Museum Foundation, have launched an effort to restore Santa Fe steam locomotive No. 1010, a 2-6-2 built by Baldwin in 1901, for use on the museum’s Sacramento Southern excursion railroad.
The project — the largest steam restoration project undertaken by the museum since its opening in 1981 — is described in the current edition of the Museum Foundation’s “On Track” magazine.
