More pix from Earl:
7. The next morning #18 is the first steam locomotive east of La Veta since 1956 (or 1955).
8. Climbing the 3% a few miles west of La Veta.
9. View from the cab east of Occidental Siding.
Earl commented, "#18 ran well. Steve and his crew burned lots of midnight oil to get her running. Our one and only test run was around the wye and out to East Yard at 830 Firday night."
