Steam & Excursion > Sierra Photo "Freight" Info Needed

I'm also posting this over in the Nostalgia forum.

These three photos show a "photo freight" on the Sierra Railroad. The freight was actually made up of this single NYC boxcar followed by passenger cars which made up a special excursion that appears to have operated between Oakdale and Jamestown. If anyone can fill in a date and who sponsored the trip, I would be grateful. (All photos by Jim Wren)

1. Sierra No. 28 and train at Warnerville, taking on water.

2. Eastbound near Keystone

3. Switching at Jamestown (at least I think its Jamestown.)

Photo # 3 looks like Tuolumne City at end of track.

Over on the Nostalgia board it was determined that Photo 3 is indeed Tuolumne. Also, this is a Central Coast Railway Club excursion of October 1961. The Central Coast guys are still going strong too - co-sponsoring the Feather River Express trip next weekend through the Feather River anyon and a V&T Explorer trip in October.

R&LHS trip, September 30/October 1, 1961.

Not only steam, but a class boxcar to boot.
