1968 - Early Days at Rio Vista..

Ex-Key System electric loco 1001 with ex-Salt Lake and Utah car 751, at the (then) California Railway Museum, at Rio Vista Junction..

1001 is still in faded Key System / National City Lines 'fruit salad' livery, and is missing its bell.. Car 751 is still in Sacramento Northern livery.

The museum later changed its name to the Western Railway Museum to avoid confusion with the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento..

Today (2015) 1001 is in its original San Francisco - Oakland Terminal orange livery, and Car 751 is in its original SL&U red livery..

Original slide - photographer unknown
