Steam & Excursion > Skookum on March 15, 2019Date: 03/17/19 20:04 Skookum on March 15, 2019 Author: WoodwardEJ First we see a still shot south of Wheeler, OR on the afternoon of March 15.
Then we have a couple of short iPhone videos taken near Foss, Oregon earlier in the day - first the whistle, and then the train. We felt lucky to have Skookum running on March 14 and 15, and hope that she will make another memorable appearance on March 18. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/17/19 20:17 by WoodwardEJ.

Awesome running, very beautiful and very quiet. No huffing and puffing with this little lady. I'll try to post a video of her sitting very quietly just steaming with very little noise.

I suspect you'll hear more from here there.
