Our trip to the California State Railroad Museum
Softer but darker...still a HUGE machine.
IFuzzy, long exposure shot of the AC-12. Those are adults walking past!
And look! Some Z at the museum! I think their collection needs some serious updating.
..and I've got one of THESE in Z (well, very close)

This is a huge stained-glass mural directly in front of the AC-12. I wonder if it would work in my living room?
The AC12 from above
Imagine sitting in there, chugging along through 30 feet of snow in the Sierra's, passing thru the snowsheds....
This locomotive is HUGE! It's impossible to photograph nicely asit sits in a long, narrow, dark hall, and it's painted black.
My beloved AC-12 Cab Forward! Talk about beauty in a functional form! Oh yeah...and I have THIS in Z, too!
