Nostalgia & History > Sierra #3 and Pickering #5 - Ralph Station!Date: 02/03/07 18:07 Sierra #3 and Pickering #5 - Ralph Station! Author: LOGGERHOGGER These were the days! The Sierra put on a railfan excursion in 1959 and invited Pickering Heisler #5 to pull the train up from Standard to Ralph where this shot was taken by Wil Whittaker.
The rain simply added to the atmosphere of such a great trip. Martin  Date: 02/03/07 20:30 Re: Sierra #3 and Pickering #5 - Ralph Station! Author: wingomann Pickering #5 is sitting in Niles Canyon waiting to be restored.
