Steam & Excursion > SP #18 7/3/2017 DedicationDate: 07/03/17 15:44 SP #18 7/3/2017 Dedication Author: callum_out Three shots from today's Dedication of SP #18 and it's new home at the Eastern California Museum.
Other than a balky fireman's side injector the locomotive both ran and sounded beautiful. Mass props to the Carson Colorado guys for an excellent job. Engine will be running at Laws in September.

I always used to stop and visit her when she was on display in Independence, on trips from SoCal to Mammoth.

I'm bumbed that I won't get to see it, we'll be in Bishop a few weeks before. But I remember day dreaming as a kid whenever we would drive by on our fishing trips, thinking it would be great to see her run again. Hopefully I'll get to one of these days.

station to Independence was Kearsarge which is where the guys put down 600 or feet of track as a demonstration project. Out Date: 07/03/17 20:53 Re: SP #18 7/3/2017 Dedication Author: MojaveBill Beautiful!!
