Skookum backing out of the engine house lead.
Author: ChrisCampi

It's early Saturday morning in Brightside yard on the Niles Canyon Railway and there's alot going on. The track crew was out early for the east end build, the first of three Roadway protection courses was soon to start and the Skookum was backing her train out of the engine house lead to begin her day earning funds for the SP1744 restoration project.

The poor night hostler had just passed by mumbling something about going to bed when I recorded this scene.

I think you meant hostler, not hustler.

Wow, Starting with the kerosene markers on the caboose, this whole scene has a wonderful "feel" to it.!

What a neat locomotive!
I wonder if having the second set of cylinders significantly increases the required maintenance?  It has a complicated look to it...which is part of what makes it so cool.  Thanks for the video!

Think of it as two locomotives.
