Here is a photo of the Agnews depot.

We are located in the Agnew Depot, located at 4185 Bassett Street, Santa Clara, CA 95054. The depot was built 1877 - 1879 by the (then narrow gauge) South Pacific Coast Railroad, which was bought out by the Southern Pacific and standard gauged in the early 1900s.

Scenically, the railroad is 95% complete. It is set in the 1950s, and and locations are inspired by real locations from the California coast and SF Bay Area to Southern Oregon. There is also a dual gauge branch line; however, narrow gauge operations are infrequent.

We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Wayne Cohen
President, California Central Model Railroad Club

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent. Please do not edit, crop, "correct" or "improve" these photos without asking me first.

Special Thanks

All the great folks who helped me out with information for these Web pages!
