Junction Historic Park. P.O. Box 221925, Newhall,

Historical Society was formed to stimulate public interest
in the history of the Santa Clarita Valley and area, to collect
and preserve facts and artifacts pertinent to the area, and
to inform the public. The Society’s first big acquisition was
the Saugus Train Station, which Southern Pacific deeded
to them in 1980. Monies were raised through a variety of
community functions, and the station was moved from its
original site and restored to its original condition. It has since
served as the headquarters for the Society and as a museum
of local history. In 1982, the Society was given Mogul steam
engine No. 1629, located at Melody Ranch, by Gene Autry.
No. 1629 now sits on a siding alongside the Saugus Station.
