Three cheers for the Sumpter Valley
| December 14, 2017 05:54PM |
Congratulations to the Sumpter Valley for the successful rehabilitation of SRVY 720, a GE 50 ton narrow gauge diesel. On Saturday, December 9, 2017 the 720 made its first revenue run, as the 19 was a little slow getting out of bed on a cold morning. The 19 made the afternoon trip.
Here are a couple shots of the 720 at McEwen.
More to follow.
