I went by the museum over the weekend, and was able to (finally) get some closer shots of the lumber locomotive on display there.

It's the one I posted in this post: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/off-topic-misc/train-pics-12796-15.html#post499969, but that photo was shot with my zoom, through a fence!

I also grabbed a shot of the caboose, but there's only one photo of it because my batteries were dying

Thanks guys and no, Wheelsup, the museum is here in Redding. It's the Turtle Bay Museum and Exploration park. They have a feature called the Paul Bunyan camp that has all sorts of logging artifacts including this locomotive and a couple flatcars (also a custom flatcar) for hauling timber. The custom flatcars were for the ancient Cedars that grew around here...almost as large as a Sequoia or Redwood.

They currently have a T-Rex at the museum that I grabbed a few pics of, I'll post 'em over in my thread later

In a nutshell, its to provide alternate power in case the steam engine "dies". The RR doesnt want the train to block the tracks as these are the mains and there are no detours for hundreds of miles.
