Absolutely awesome machine, in every definition. Well before "my time", but we don't build things like this anymore. These were built to work, brute force hammer simple get the job done. Beautiful machines, shame that most are gone now.

When I lived in Sacramento (1986 to 1996) I visited the railroad museum there a few times. Anyone with even the slightest interest should visit this facility. The museum is located in what is called the "Old Sac" area and also has many great restaurants along the river.
