Yes. I might be a little off in my answer but I what I remember is the San Bernardino Historical Society acquired the locomotive. It was already sitting on display in a park away from any live track so they had to build this temporary track to get it out of the park and onto active track.

Sam, 3751 was restored back to service over the following Five years.

Sam -- click on the "ATSF 3751" link to see photos of this great engine in service. (Having so many links, such as road numbers, locations, locomotive models, photographers, etc., is one of the great things about this site -- along with the quality of the photos, of course.)
