Maybe one of the old timers can help me with this. Back in 1970, when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, a buddy and I went to a place that had some locos outside. It would have been LA, San Diego, or somewhere in between. I didn't get up to Sacramento or close to there.
I looked at a couple of sites on the web but I couldn't find places whose locos had numbers that corresponded to the numbers I saw. Does anyone know where this was?
Here are the 4 pics I have.

Looks like the train museum in Campo, San Diego county. (it's about a 20 minute drive from me) The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum.

There's also the Orange Empire Railroad Museum. They are in Perris, CA; about 30 minutes southeast of LA. They do have a steamer #1, but it's an 0-4-2 Tanker. So, probably not the same one in your second photo.
Both Campo and OERM have a few steamers, including tank-type switchers, similar to your last photo.
Your first photo looks like a SP 0-6-0, with perhaps a sausage tender behind it. Not sure, though. Perhaps that's a clue.
I found it and I feel kind of stupid now. I looked on the back of the pics and I had written Los Angeles Transportation Museum. It's also called Travel Town. It must be this getting old stuff. I don't know why I didn't look on back to begin with, >:(
First pic is: UNION PACIFIC #4439 0-6-0
Then: #1 is STOCKTON TERMINAL & EASTERN #1 a 4-4-0
The other two aren't shown.

W00t!
And yeah... I can relate! You should see me look for my glasses! (One would think that, by now, my own face would be the FIRST place I look)
What we Dutchies call Alzheimer light.
Tell me all about it!
