Built in 1909 by H. K. Porter, the Santa Cruz Portland Cement Co. #2 was purchased in 2006 by Efstathios I. Pappas. Affectionately known as "The Chiggen," this locomotive served as a billboard for a fried chicken restaurant for over 30 years before rebuilding began. This locomotive is available for rent and special events and use on your railroad.

SCPC 2 is headed back to the California coast for a visit at the California Western Railroad. The Chiggen has been welcomed to the Redwood Route this summer! Weekends in August and September we'll be running this historic steam engine for a one-of-a-kind journey through the redwoods. Visit the Events Page for more info!
