Description
This photograph of the Southern Pacific Railroad Station, at 401 I Street, was taken in 1941. Covered in the right foreground is the Collis P. Huntington locomotive. To the left is the Theodore D. Judah Memorial. The engine was built on the Atlantic seaboard and brought around Cape Horn to Sacramento in 1863, and ran between the Capital city and Folsom. It was present at the station's opening in February 1926. Symbolically hewn out of Sierra-Nevada granite, the Judah Memorial was presented to the City in April of 1930. A bronze plaque bearing a likeness of Judah is set into the monument.
