Railroaders' Nostalgia > SPMW5771

Great photos of Myron. Do you have anymore photos of Myron or other characters around Gemco ? Would enjoy seeing them.

Thanks

I was privileged to receive Myron’s railroad items from his step-son which included photos, time books, railroad books, time tables, and even his throttle lever. I am going thru all his photos and am finding very interesting things like a time he worked on 4449 up the Lone Pine branch with a special to Laws to a special event with the narrow gauge locomotives. TO member cewherry has filled me in on some of the details. I will organize and post.

4449 never worked on the Lone Pine branch; GS-4 class engines weren't rated for any part of the Owenyo Branch (correct name for the branch in the 1950s).  4449 did help pull an excursion train from LA to Mojave which continued on the Owenyo Branch with lighter power.
