Portola Assorted Pictures

Another of our stops on our July 30 to August 8, 1999 Train Trip out west was to Portola Railroad Museum and Engine Certification Facility. Here, there is not only an enormous collection of engines and rolling stock to look at, but, you have the opportunity (if you have the money) to certify yourself on any number of 5 fully operational engines. The following are just assorted pictures from Portola.
