Post subject:  What to my wondering eyes should appear...

northbound on I-15 at 0910H this morning twenty eight miles south of Provo, UT a flatbed semi with four (or was it five?) steam engine driver/axle sets. I was southbound at the time, already late for my first patients, so I couldn't U-turn to give "chase".

Is someone in So. California sending the sets back east for servicing or what?

About a month ago, the Grand Canyon Rwy listed their 2-8-0 located at the MGM-Las Vegas for sale on Railswap. The listing mentioned a desire to move quickly further stating if the engine was not sold in a short time it was going back to Williams for static display. Perhaps, GCRy found a buyer.

T.J.,

Yes, I think that Cranbrook is working on a deal. I have a newsletter from there that has her at the head of one of their passenger trains and listed as pending.

Nothing recent though.

Just saw on Trainorders that this will be the last year for operations at the Georgetown Loop RR. Here is a link to the press relese. Sad to see another line go.
