The crew from the California State RR Museum also brought the Sonoma back to Reedley. Engineer Greg Robinson was pleased to run the Sonoma again. As you may remember, the Sonoma once made her home in Orland, CA and was donated to the museum after the builder, Frank Allen, passed away.

The Marie E sure looks beautiful in the sun light.
