Built by American Car & Foundry in 1935, this gas powered railbus began as Seaboard Air Line 2026. According to Wikipeida, it went from SAL to Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad #106 and then Salt Lake, Garfield & Western M.C. 3 in 1951. Finally, in 1963, it was purchased by California Western to serve the tourist line. California Western is better known by its nickname "The Skunk Train" in reference to its once smelly gas powered railbuses. Note the skunk loco by the rear doors. Alton B. Lanier slide |
