According to the photograph there are other forms of interest besides live steam locomotives appearing on the GGLS track in Redwood Park, Oakland. We are not running this as an advertising medium to get membership. Join the club, fellows, you may be missing something.

The occasion was an ad stunt by the Saftey Department of the So. Pacific. A movie was made of one of Vic Shattock's So. Pacific "Mikes" hauling a string of miniature freight cars passing a certain station which was followed by his Pacific hauling three beautiful "gals" into the same station.
