  • In 1964 the Griffith Park Museum held many examples of steam locomotives from ATSF 4-6-4 to "Big Boy" UP 4014 and traction locomotives and cabooses from Pacific Electric. These examples later were moved to Rail Giants Museum railgiants.org and TravelTown traveltown.org. UP 4014 was at Rail Giants Museum before being moved to the Union Pacific Steam shop in Cheyenne, WY for restoration. UP 9000 is on static display at the RailGiants Train Museum, Los Angeles County Fairplex in Pomona, California.
    00:01 ATSF locomotive 3450 4-6-4 "Heavy Pacific" - more information link below

    00:55 UP 4014 Big Boy 4-8-8-4 about 3 years after retirement from revenue service. In 1964, who knew over 50 years later, this locomotive would see active service again on the Union Pacific Railroad? Amazing.
    01:00 These kids were enjoying inspecting UP 4014.
    01:06 UP 9000 4-12-2 massive and impressive. It would be great if Union Pacific could get this locomotive operating again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-12-2
    01:11 Most likely DRGW No 26 now at Traveltown.

    Really sad the equipment at travel town became dilapidated and allowed to rot away. The pacific electric trolley and cabooses were taken to orange empire museum. The trolly car was destroyed by a weed fire, the cabooses were allowed to rot away.
