In 1957, Woodburn received a classic 1902-built steam locomotive through a donation by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The SP 1785 and Frank Scheer have become synonymous in the railroad and rail fan community. Frank has done a masterful job of restoring the locomotive using Southern Pacific Company erection shop drawings and other source information to ensure it looks exactly as if she had been released from the SP’s Sacramento Shops in 1955. Every detail has been meticulously restored or rebuilt.
