January 2007 Rail Pictures of the Month

Here are this month’s four California Rail Pictures of the Month. Note: Previous California Rail Pictures of the Month have been reactivated and are temporarily archived at our Gallery.

In addition to the daily comings and goings of passengers, the Sacramento RT dedicated its extension into that facility, and the Capitol Corridor celebrated its 15th birthday.
