Santa Fe 3751 arrives into Fullerton from LA for the annual Railroad Days festival held each May.
Although being towed by BNSF 7558, the 3751 appears to be doing most of the work. Also in the consist were an-ex ATSF baggage and Amtrak Pacific Parlour 39975 'Willamette Valley' and a Superliner Sleeper, with the latter two to be put on display for the weekend.
