Steam & Excursion > Flying Locomotives Spotted Today Over Fremont California!Date: 04/21/15 09:09 Flying Locomotives Spotted Today Over Fremont California! Author: LoggerHogger This morning our crews at Oregon Coast Scenic RR completed the loading of Sunset Timber Heisler #1 at it's long time storage site in Fremont, CA. Most of you here know this engine from her last operator, as Pickering Lumber Corp. #1.
Several years ago we traded some boiler work on the PLA's Sierra Ry #30 for this 85-ton Heisler. We picked up her 3rd truck and tender a couple years ago and have it stored in Garibaldi, OR. We will depart later this morning for the 2-day run up to Tillamook where the restoration of this Heisler will take place. Martin Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 04/21/15 09:18 by LoggerHogger.

Now worries about rocks in the gear boxes. Most Heislers sound like rock crushers anyway... Date: 04/21/15 20:05 Re: Flying Locomotives Spotted Today Over Fremont California! Author: pmack What is the name on the truck?
