Locke California

It is still a viable community today.

Lots of flowers and esoteric stuff. 






















Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph,

The museum was quite dark, no tripods allowed,  and most of the exhibits were under glass. I did get a couple of inside shots I liked. This is the water injector that put the water in the boiler, a very mundane function but in yesteryear an opportunity to shine. An this is one of the most famous color schemes. It's the Santa Fe's War Bonnet colors.  A modified version is used today by the Atchison Topeka and Santa...
