Our canyon has a long history of railroads passing through. We had two main lines. Now we have one main line with all the latest equipment, and a private volunteer railroad that runs steam locomotives for pleasure.

A camelback locomotive! I have not seen one for several years. I found your Niles Canyon Railway (Sunol CA) group's website: http://www.ncry.org

Hi Nikonian. I find if I punch in Niles Canyon Railway, you will be taken to several different sites. Thanks for looking and showing an interest.

A Camelback locomotive had the engineer's cab over the boiler; this locomotive had a water tank over the boiler and was often referred to as a saddletanker. There is one surviving camelback in the B&O museum at Baltimore, and one at Strasburg. I believe they are the last ones.
