Who let Porky out? SMV #205 on a freight
Author: roustabout

Albany & Eastern ran their ex-Santa Maria Valley #205 on a training run today, from Lebanon to Page (near Albany) and back.  They grabbed a cut of frieght cars from Page siding with the intention of taking them to Griggs on the Mill City line, and setting them out there.  I found them between Tallman (ex-SP junction for the Wilkins Branch) plus caught them swtich a bit in the sidings on the west end of Lebanon.  Enjoy the stack talk; Porky speaks with authority!

She seems so small next to those boxcars. Loved the videos, nothing beats the sounds of a working steam engine.

Modern boxcars are HUGE next to this engine--shows you how the industry has evolved.
