Follwing up on my request for South Bay railfanning sites (and thanks to those who responded), are there any railroad organizations, clubs, or historical societies in the area? I've had some difficulty locating any (resources such as the Yellow Pages are no help). Again, much thanks. --Brad -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Brad Taylor bradt@netcom.com

It (the depot) is located at 1005 Railroad Ave. in Santa Clara, but it is more poetic to get there on the train :) We operate Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30. We have a museum and library just chock-ablock with nifty artifacts. Soon we will have also restored the old SP/Amtrak interlocking tower "west" of the depot, for your edification (and a nifty place to railfan the SP penninsula and Mulford main junction). We also have model railroads under construction (secondary in purpose to the museum, but it is the justification of my existence right now :) and welcome new members. -- .J.R.
