Santa Fe 3751 - Return to Steam (DVD)
Pentrex has captured the excitement of big steam power in action as the 3751 returned to the Santa Fe mainline. Pentrex was there in 1986 as the 3751 was removed from its resting place in a park in San Bernardino and moved to Fontana. Years and countless man-hours later, Pentrex was there to cover the successful break-in runs and show what the dedication of many talented individuals can achieve. Pentrex crews also covered the entire four-day maiden voyage of the engine in excursion service.
The engine powered a re-creation of the California Limited passenger train, celebrating the 99th anniversary of the train's debut. Running from Los Angeles to Bakersfield, California and returning via Cajon and Tehachapi Passes, the engine performed flawlessly as it tackled the stiff grades over the mountains. Two FP-45 diesel locomotives painted in the dazzling warbonnet scheme were coupled behind the steam engine as helpers.
