After spending nearly 70 years in Fresno, the train will be moved to the Kingsburg Depot.
The relocation was originally planned to start on Monday, but due to last-minute logistical challenges, that work had to be delayed.
The train will be preserved in a historically accurate context.
It will be used for educational programs and be available for public viewing.
Earlier this year, the organization "Friends of Kingsburg Depot" hand-laid 300 feet of track to prepare for the arrival.
