The History of the Seybold Locomotive Works
The Seybold Locomotive Works is relatively new. We formed in September 2012 around Hyde Seybold's idea to build a separate shop for his 2-8-0 #3, but to also offer a wide variety of repairs to private individuals locomotives. As soon as the shop was built worked started on numerous long term projects that Hyde is associated with on his railroad. Hyde is the Founder, Owners, and Operator of the Santa Clarita Valley Railroad. That railroad takes up most of his time and being that their line is presently undergoing a massive reconstruction, Hyde has found a lot of time to work on various locomotives in his private shop. locomotives required extensive work and were taking up too much time in the shops.
