Steam & Excursion > "Skookum" at Niles Canyon todayDate: 09/20/20 17:26 "Skookum" at Niles Canyon today Author: wpamtk I got my first look at 2-4-4-2 "Skookum" at the Niles Canyon Railway today, and had a great time (and the wildfire smoke wasn't too bad). The first two views are the engine running around its train at Sunol, the last is departing Niles. I understand they will be running steam a couple of weekends in October, but get the impression they will use a different engine.

Couldn’t lay off— with impending “cuts” my job is going to be “limited hours” from now on, so need to make the OT while I can.
