Re: NNG-McCloud River RR 25 Operates Today

She was restored to operation last year for a movie that never happened. The movie company left her with the horrible paint job and modifications that you see here.
I agreed to run 2 photo freights in October to raise the money needed to restore her to her original paint and configuration. John Signor just completed the lettering of her. Thanks John!
Now that she is repainted I will run my photo freights this month, then the PLA will have a trip with her on 11-2-08. That will be the last steam run on the McCloud.
The #25 is scheduled to be sold and will leave the McCloud permanetly when that happens.
