Round house restoration work.
Heading out of LA Union station, I always keep a lookout for restoration work. (In the background are the downtown buildings of LA.) Here the round house building, if there ever was one, is gone. We can see a great variety of work being done on an even greater variety of rolling stock.
On the far left, you can see a couple of Amtrak cars, a dome car from the 1950’s, a piece of modern motive power #153, and various work items before a fenced area. Inside that right side fenced section is a black box-like fuel tender, and a beautiful steam engine under restoration. The Tender says Santa Fe. I really love finding things like this.
Perhaps someone knows which engine and tender this might be? Do let me know. Thanks.

- Himself: Working, hard, talking hard, and lost his temper with someone this morning. He can only do so much.
- Myself: Too fat to fit in shorts. More laundry, I’m not going out in this 100 degree weather today. Margot is cooling one room as her bill last month is astronomical.
- Reading: Book 3 in the Library series.
- Gratitude’s: Great day at work yesterday, sheets in the wash today, house in the 70’s.

There is a diarist here I came across, Brakeshoe Bob. Apparently he worked for many years with Santa Fe Railway. Perhaps if you left him a note asking him to come visit your entry, he might be able to help!

It's hot here but we don't have air conditioning. Luckily we can open some windows in the evening and try to get a cross breeze going.
