I got a late phonecall yesterday that McCloud River RR 2-6-2 25 was to operate today (Sunday) for testing and was invited to come along. Last year, she got the required boiler work, but never was mechanically tested after that.
After getting written authorization, we made two trips as a light engine from McCloud to Signal Butte & return with a number of stops to check temps. The locomotive has been repainted and looks better than I have ever seen her. No major deficiencies were noted and it was really nice to ride her again.
