RC&BT Shay #7 |
| Description: |
Roaring Camp & Big Trees #7 "Sonora" leads a train into the Felton station. "Sonora" was built in 1911 by Lima as a three-truck Shay, and originally worked for the Battle & Plumas as their number 3. B&P 3, after being sold to the West Side & Cherry Valley, came to Roaring Camp in the mid 1980s. This is my 800th image on RRPA. |

RC&BT 3 |
| Description: |
Roaring Camp & Big Trees Railroad 3 leads a train into the depot at Felton. 3 is one of the few rod-driven locomotives ever operated on the RC&BT, and the onlly one still in active service. #3 was built in 1890 by Baldwin, and spent most of its career on a sugar plantation on Oahu. The engine ended up at a museum in San Francisco, where it was in turn acquired by Roaring Camp in 1966. #3 rarely runs up the mountain, and is instead used from time to time as a parking lot shuttle, shop switcher, and work train engine, as well as making limited appearances during special events. |

Shay #1 "Dixiana" |
| Description: |
At the end of the journey back down Bear Mountain, after passing Mcskunk Junction, Dixiana releases water in a blowdown. This process cleans some of the dirt and debris out of the boiler. The depot at Felton is just around the bend, and the abandoned sawmill is on the left. |

CF7 Passes The Last WigWag |
| Description: |
Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific 2600 rumbles across Lincoln Street, past one of the last operating wig-wag signals in California. Only three wigwag crossings are still installed in northern California, and Santa Cruz is home to all three. Of these three, only two are still active, with a third still in place but unused as of 2017. The in-service wigwags are located along Chestnut Street, where the Beach Train must run seven blocks down the middle of the street. The wigwags protect the Walnut-Chestnut and Lincoln-Chestnut intersections. Formerly, an additional two were located in Richmond and Ager respectively. |

Down The Middle Of Beach Street |
| Description: |
Santa Cruz & Big Trees 2600 leads a northbound Beach Train down the middle of Beach Street in Santa Cruz. Just out of frame to the right is the famed Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. 2600 is leading a return journey for tourists who took the morning train south from Felton to the beach. The CF7 was built as Santa Fe 248, an F7 built in 1951, and was one of 233 F units that Santa Fe rebuilt as hood units. Today, these units can still be found on several shortlines and tourist operations such as this one. |
