Steam ruled the rails in Sacramento when the California State Railroad Museum hosted Railfair '99 and the NRHS and R&LHS scheduled their national conventions in Sacramento to coincide with the June 1999 event.

Many of the major steam locomotives operating in the US plus dozens of other locomotives were in attendance to amaze and entertain an appreciative throng of over 175,000 visitors!
