ALCO S2 - ATSF 2381 On The Move!!
Author: 6088
The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum ( http://psrm.org/ ) is pleased to announce that the California State Railroad Museum has agreed to donate AT&SF 2381, an ALCo S-2, to PSRM. We have completed loading the locomotive onto the donated QTTX flatcar, and it is now moving towards Campo via the UP to Stockton, BNSF to San Diego, SDIY to San Ysidro and CZRy to Campo. All of the transportation for this move has been donated by all the railroads involved. Without these corporate sponsors, we couldn't have acquired this locomotive.
ATSF 2381 was assigned to San Diego as the yard goat here. Being local, acquisition of the locomotive was a priority for us. Rationalization of our collection is underway to emphasis local history. Our goal is to stabilize the locomotive by replacing the windows and sealing up the cab, and then to go about inventorying the loco to see what copper wires and other copper pieces need to be replaced. This could take place over a number of months or years.
If you would like to be involved in saving and preserving a piece of railroad history, we would like to encourage you to donate to the ATSF 2381 fund. We will keep all funds donated over and above what we have already spent on cables, etc. in a special fund, which will be used only for this locomotive. For donations, please go to http://psrm2381donation.kintera.org/ And make your pledge. We would also welcome your postings of locations and photos as it moves towards Campo. You may also email photos direct to us at photos@psrm.org we are happy to give appropriate photo credits if used on our website or publications.
The locomotive is scheduled to depart Sacramento this evening, Thursday June 7, 2007 and its riding on QTTX 131423."
