Second day of the three day weekend began with a visit to Western Railway Museum. I bought a ride online; the car turned out to be Key System articulated bridge unit 187. It operated to Birds Landing, the end of the overhead catenary, on a neat round trip that reached as high as 35 mph. Upon reaching barn no. 3, I alighted and joined the conductor and other passengers for a tour of the railway equipment. We got to board and walk two Pullman passenger cars. San Francisco Muni PCC 1016, restored by museum volunteers, was parked inside and got photos onto my phone.

Then I decided to snap shots of Capitol Corridor trains at Suisun/Fairfield station, no. 741 and 743 westbound, and 732 eastbound.

Since there's no Sunday bus service in Suisun City, Fairfield, or Vacaville, I went back home to the hotel to process the two days' photos for the website.

Nikon D5600 and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G cameras yielded 168 photos.
