Swanton Pacific Railroad - 1/3 scale Pacifics
The Swanton Pacific Railroad has three of four 1/3 scale Pacific type steam locomotives built by Louis Macdermott for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Two are currently running, a third is being restored. The fourth is on display in the lobbby of the Sacramento Railroad Museum. The Pacifics operate on the Swanton Pacific Ranch near Davenport, CA. The ranch and railroad is owned by CalPoly, thanks to a generous donation by deceased Orchard Supply Hardware owner Al Smith. This footage is from 'CalPoly Day' in the fall of 2006.
