Steam & Excursion > Chiggen to Placerville & Sacramento Valley RR in 2020

Santa Cruz Portland Cement Co. No. 2 , "The Chiggen", will pull excursion trains on the Placerville & Sacramento Valley Railroad in 2020. See attached news release.

A line made whole on the Folsom end by a contractor who had broken the line in several places and to contract
repaired the track in a very professional and correct manner, heavy ballast and all. The group is headed for Latrobe
in their efforts and with some effort might get to the runaround at Bullard. Mass props to the group for their real
efforts in preserving and using the existing line. What were open fields and some industry in 1989 when the SP quit
running are now rampant housing tracts and development!

I figured it was heading to Chehalis when it was announced it was moving. How much tube time does Chiggen have left?

It first ran when Stathi was in Snoqualamie and that's like ten years ago?

It first ran when he was at MRSR, before he went to Snoqualmie.

Thanks for the correct, thought he finished it at Snoqualamie.

He did finish it at Snoqualmie with the fixing of the issues from the California runs and improvements that has it running better than a swiss watch now. His first runs were in Mineral.
