Description
Notes from the Sacramento Railroad Museum indicate that this freight engine, Number 654, of the Sacramento Northern Railway, was brand new in 1930 and running on X Street in Sacramento. The line was part of an interurban service that ran from Chico through Sacramento to Oakland and San Francisco. The General Electric logo is attached to the front side of the engine while a slightly diagonal view of the engine reveals a Western Pacific freight car.
