Steam & Excursion > McCloud #18's Last Run That Wasn't

January 16th 2005 was SUPPOSED to be the last time under steam for #18 on the McCloud. As it turned out, that event didn't happen until August (unless something has happened I don't know about) but it was a great trip anyway.

First two, in town at McCloud, third is the first photo run East of town.

2nd Photo run, Foamers at Bartle, passing the Bartle tank.

Photo runs with the McCloud's home built plow, and a photo run on the way back, west of Bartle

The plow was left at Bartle and the train backed to McCloud

Very nice, Drew. We're going to miss No. 18 and the McCloud. It's such a photogenic place.

Hi Drew. I was on this trip and it was very enjoyable. Kind of sad that things
turned out so badly for this railroad owner. By the way, I was also on the Feather
River Express and want to do an article for our Portland Chapter newsletter and
would like to use a couple of your pictures in the article I have written. What
is your complete name so I can put that in the article. I think I can print out
copies of your pictures that you posted last week. Thanks for your help AND great
pictures.
