Nostalgia & History > SP4227 RosevilleDate: 08/30/15 11:03 SP4227 Roseville Author: engine3420 Here is a view of Cab Forward 4227 at Roseville. No date on the print but Art's other photos of Roseville are dated March 1956. This engine might be stored serviceable on this date. Art Laidlaw photo.

SR Thanks for sharing these! I only met Art a couple of times, but knew his daughter Carolyn quite well. We worked 11-14 together when she was a TA. (I lost track of her when she moved to K Falls) What ever became of his Pierce-Arrows?

Especially those locomotives assigned to the Donner Summit line, with all the snow sheds & tunnels. Date: 08/30/15 18:22 Re: SP4227 Roseville Author: BoilingMan That early? Wow.
