People began gathering at the Tamarack railroad crossing at 10:30 AM today as word spread through Carlsbadistan that an “old-time steam engine” was on it’s way down the track.
That steam engine was the historic exSanta Fe 3751 which pulled the last steam passenger train between Los Angeles and San Diego in 1953. It is currently owned by the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society.
This historic engine will be steaming back to Los Angeles today and is scheduled to leave the Santa Fe Station in downtown San Diego at 2:30 PM. Those interested in seeing it on its way north should be at the Carlsbad tracks between 3:10 and 3:40 PM.
