Even a small picie of Western Pacific steam being returned to life is a victory. I would love to see one of thier GS series returned to steam But I know they didnt save any did they? just asking Larry
Largest WP steam power saved is 2-8-2 334 at Rio Vista, CA, I believe
Great.
I wish I could say the same thing about J 611.
May I ask here what happened to WP 94? Last I remember it was at Rio Vista. I was there when the locomotive was steamed up for the 1st time after arriving at the museum. How many years ago.
Thx IGN
