The Santa Fe 3751, is a Pioneer 4-8-4 type, and saw regular service from 1927 to 1953. It now belongs to the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society and is a fully restored and working steam locomotive.
Captured on the return trip from San Diego to Los Angeles. The train was traveling at a high rate of speed, if you look closely you can see the engineer and some of the passengers!

Love what you did to this. It was traveling at a high speed and you captured it this well? Amazing!! #9066103Donna La Mattino Pagakis November 27, 2010
Thanks again to each of you. Your comments are very cool!I have never seen a steam engine up close like this, it was very fast and powerful!!! And the engineer was blowing the whistle!!!
If you ever get the chance to see a Steam Locomotive, in person, I highly recommend it. You should have seen all the people lined up along the tracks waiting! I was lucky to find a remote location to capture this!
