neat photo! I was fortunate to grow up in the bay area in the 1970s and we would visit RC pretty much once per year throughout the 1980s. I can remember seeing the climax parked behind the shops and always wondered about it's history and if it would ever be brought back to service. Hopefully the RWH foundation that now owns the climax will be successful in restoring it, however I think most of it's original fabric that ties it to being the last climax built will be lost. This is not necessarily a bad thing given there are so few of these unique locomotives in existance, let alone operational.
