I am pleased to report that the large black and white photos of the old CPRR grade, California thru to Utah, will be on public display in the gallery of the Leland Stanford Mansion, in Sacramento, Cal. from March 1, 2009 thru August 30, 2009. They will be moved to the CSRM on Sept. 1, 2009, where they will be exhibited in the new Mezzanine/Theatre Gallery until January 30, 2010. These photos will be accompanied by comments by David H. Bain, author of Empire Express and The Old Iron Road.
Should you visit either of these exhibits, and find that you would want a copy of a photo, please contact me directly.

"Tucked away behind Sacramento’s modern skyline is a striking reminder of California’s past — the Leland Stanford Mansion. Built in the 1860s, this Victorian-era mansion once served as the state’s official reception center and remains a symbol of the wealth and power of its namesake. During the construction of the California State Capitol, the state’s 8th governor, Leland Stanford, utilized his grand estate as a hub for political and diplomatic gatherings. Today, the 19,000 sq ft. mansion is owned by California State Parks, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of one of California’s most influential figures." –John Bartell
