It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image is from my trip to Colorado and the Colorado Railroad Museum. This locomotive was on display when I was there in July but has since been moved back home to California after 40 years. It is now at the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine RR in Fish Camp. They are going to restore it back to operating condition which is really cool news. Glad I was able to see it before it left. Look forward to someday seeing it in California. The locomotive was built in 1926 for the Swayne Lumber Co. It then went to Westside Lumber until 1961. In the 1980s it ran there until 2004 when it went to the Colorado RR Museum. The boiler is in working order but there are other things on the locomotive that will have to be brought to working order.
It seemingly has had a long and useful life which will be extended
ReplyDeleteIndeed and that's great I think.
