Extractions: United States Army #1843 This Fairbanks-Morse H12-44 locomotive was part of a group of locomotives built in 1953 for the United States Army at a cost of $224,700 each. It is a 1200 horsepower 120 ton yard switcher. In 1944, Fairbanks-Morse entered the United States railroad locomotive market trading on their excellent reputation in diesel power plants for marine applications. Their locomotives used an unorthodox opposed-piston design engine. During the next nineteen years, F-M achieved limited acceptance and rated a distant fourth place in market share during a period when all major American railroads were replacing their steam locomotives with diesels. F-M left the locomotive market in 1963. This locomotive was used most recently at the Seneca Army depot in Romulus, New York where it handled 30 to 100 cars per week on 42 miles of track at the base. In 1993, it was declared surplus by the Army, and a group of museum members purchased the unit for the Chapter through the Federal Property Assistance program. It arrived at the museum in May 1993. It is in operating condition and is used year round at the museum as the locomotive uses antifreeze and has a block heater for winter use. Many of the 1843's sister locomotives have been saved and are preserved in other museums throughout the country including the other Seneca Army depot engine #1844 at the

The restaurant sits on the Nob of a Hill that was once home to the industrialists who helped link the west coast to the east by way of the transcontinental railroad. Railroads were fundamental to California's economic development, and the Bay Area was home not only to vast amounts of railroad wealth, but also to its own interwoven system of trains, trolleys and cable cars, many of those lines now relegated to historical photographs. If you're visiting for the first time, or just beginning to explore the modern and historical tracks, there are a variety of resources around the Bay, offering glimpses into California's rail history.
