Besides the two large steam locomotives, Union Pacific was also represented by E9 951. The classic cab was in the day lilies as it awaited another dinner train call.

Also used in dinner train service was the California State Railroad Museum's own Southern Pacific E9 6051.

Sierra Railway 2-8-0 28 was also on the Railfair grounds, decked out in its movie garb complete with a star on the smokebox.

Wowing the future railfan crowd, Thomas the Tank Engine was also on the scene. Perhaps the kids that saw Thomas at Railfair in 1999 will be coming back to Sacramento in 2011 for the next big gathering of steam.
