Steam & Excursion > Clover Valley #4 is now running on the Niles Canyon Railway

Clover Valley Lumber #4, a compound 2-6-6-2T, was running today on the Niles Canyon Railway.  It handled the eastbound trains and SP #1423, an EMD NW-2 was used going westbound.  These photos were taken at Vallejo Mill Historic Park at the west end of the canyon.

Connie Luna was also autographing copies of her book, "Trains in my Heart", at the Sunol depot.

And the weather was perfect!
