TrainWeb is proud and privileged to present a very special collection of over 500 historical photographs of passenger railroading in Central and Southern California, graciously provided by rail enthusiast Chuck Isaac. His images provide a rare glimpse into a bygone era, before the consolidation and modernization (or elimination, as the case may be) of rail companies, their trains, equipment, and stations. Many of these photos were taken even before the advent of Amtrak. If you have any questions regarding these photos, or if you wish to use any of these photos in a publication or on another website, please e-mail Chuck Isaac directly at isaac@linkline.com .
