Oakland Terminal Railway Baldwin DS-4-41000 No. 101 marches down the streets of Oakland with a long string of cars in this action photo by Jim Shaw. Built in 1948 for the OTRy, the classic Baldwin was donated to the Pacific Locomotive Association of Niles Canyon Railway fame.  ​

January 1873: after considering and rejecting moving the terminal of the transcontinental railroad from Oakland to Marin County, the Big Four sold the San Francisco & North Pacific, which was acquired from the California Pacific Purchase, back to Peter Donahue.

    I've been a train junkie all my life... from the first Athearn tank car my dad bought me when I was about 4 to a full 14x16 foot HO layout in my barn, an ON30 layout in my office, an N gauge layout and I just started on a Z gauge.. I've been hooked all my days.
