Southern Pacific 4-6-0 #2353 pics

[Ray Dunakin]

I recently came across some photos I shot back in 1998, at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, CA. There are a lot of great shots of former SP steam locomotive #2353, which saw use on the San Diego & Arizona Railway. In the late 1990s this beautiful loco was running excursions. Since sometime around 2000 or so, it's been out of service due to the need for a new boiler.

Anyway, I've posted these pics to my website, hopefully some will find them useful for modeling reference or simply enjoy seeing this great steel beast:
