Portola Assorted
Pictures
Another of our stops on our July 30 to August 8, 1999 Train
Trip out west was to Portola Railroad Museum and Engine Certification
Facility. Here, there is not only an enormous collection of engines
and rolling stock to look at, but, you have the opportunity (if
you have the money) to certify yourself on any number of 5 fully
operational engines. The following are just assorted pictures
from Portola.
