2004 DESIGN: Southern Pacific Cab Forward DESIGNER: Douglas Daniels MINTAGE: 100 Silver (numbered) 100 Antique Bronze 100 Bronze This medal commemorates the 50th anniversary of the last appearance of the Southern Pacific Cab Forward locomotive in Stanislaus County. Cab Forwards were a distinct trademark of the Southern Pacific. They are sometimes also called “Cab-in fronts” or "Backup Mallies". In 1908 the Southern Pacific ordered two mallets classified MC-1 for a trial run up the Sierra Nevada. During this run there was a problem with a great volume of exhaust gasses that almost asphyxiated the crew. A team of Southern Pacific design engineers came up with a plan and designs for a mallet with the cab in front, classified MC-2, to greatly reduce the exhaust gasses the crew had to breathe. Southern Pacific had Baldwin build 15 that were delivered in February and March of 1910.	2005 DESIGN: Burge's Drive-In, Modesto, CA DESIGNER: Michael Tandy MINTAGE: 100 Silver (numbered) 100 Antique Bronze 100 Bronze Burge's Drive-In opened around 1952 and closed its doors in approximately 1966. It was located at 1514 9th Street (corner of 9th and "O" Streets) near the downtown cruising on 10th & 11th Streets. It was a round building with intercom ordering systems, roller-skating carhops to deliver your order right to your car and jukeboxes blasting tunes from the 50's and 60's. The drive-in and cruising scenes inspired George Lucas's film "American Graffiti". It was based on his experiences as a teenager in Modesto. Burge's Drive-In was a place where kids showed off their cars while observing who was there, and with whom. The drive-in was a relatively inexpensive way to spend a leisurely summer evening.
2006 DESIGN: 7th Street Bridge, Modesto, CA DESIGNER: Joan Alvarez MINTAGE: 100 Silver (numbered) 100 Antique Bronze 100 Bronze In 1916 construction began to replace the old wooden wagon bridge that crossed the Tuolumne River. This would be the only bridge built entirely of concrete. The new bridge was dedicated March 17, 1917, by breaking a bottle of milk on the lion at the south end of the bridge. The reason behind using milk was that under a state option law, Stanislaus County voted to go DRY. There was discussion of tearing down the old bridge, but historians rose to its defense and in 1963 it was retrofitted and strengthened. The lions on both ends of the bridge, used from medieval times to guard public buildings, were restored by volunteers.	2007 DESIGN: Dedication of Civil War Cannons DESIGNER: Gary Kailes MINTAGE:                                                                                           100 Silver (numbered)                                                                      100 Antique Bronze                                                                          100 Bronze                                                                                        200 Copper                                                                             This medal commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Dedication of the two Civil War era cannons in the Civil War Plot at Citizens Cemetery, Modesto, California.
