CP 2860 - Acton CA - 3/29/77

            Steaming through Soledad Canyon on March 29, 1977 is the Royal Hudson, owned by the province of British Columbia.  This streamlined 4-6-4 is heading from Vancouver, British Columbia, for Los Angeles, California, in order to promote tourism.  The steam engine is being assisted by Southern Pacific SD45T-2 9307 as it pulls its eight-car train through the S-curve at Ravenna, near Acton, California.  (This curve was straightened out by Metrolink after they acquired this line from the SP years ago.)
