From the Park Trains list and Ed Kelley: The private Pacific Coast Railroad at the Santa Margarita Ranch this weekend played host to an impressive event to benefit the construction of the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum. The railroad is home to the Vulcan used in the TV show "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman", as well as the Crown-rebuilt Porter 0-6-2T-turned 2-6-2 "Melodia". Both were in steam pulling three former Santa Fe & Disneyland RR "Retlaw One" coaches on the relatively new 2-mile railroad just north of San Luis Obispo on Cuesta Grade. Courtesy of "Welcome Aboard the Disneyland Railroad" co-authors Steve DeGaetano and Preston Nirattisai bring the following: Photos/Video Clips: http://www.mynameispreston.com/gallery/ ... p?album=33 Trip Report: http://www.burnsland.com/cgi-bin/drrdb2 ... t=121;st=0 I've also posted some photos of my own from a March visit to the Ranch on "On Track" (http://ontrack.bjwrr.com) with the Bill Norred Collection article. http://www.bjwrr.com/ontrack/norred.htm The event was made possible by owner Rob Rossi, CMO Phil Reader (ex-Georgetown Loop/Roaring Camp/BJWRR), Brad LaRose (SLORRM President/PCRy General Manager), and other SLORRM volunteers. Good work, guys! Ed Kelley |

I should have added in the earlier post and add..."and all other parties involved!" Sure wish I could've been there! Expect coverage of the event in the 'On Track' Summer Issue, perhaps more. I hope to get this issue out for the first week of June. There's a lot of 'stuff' in this one. |
