Re: Yreka Western#19 for sale

Hey Dan,
I think the FOJB should buy it for the Joseph Branch. After all the Wallowa Union apparently can't find the dollars to maintain a back up diseasal 2085 or 87, so steam should be just the answer. They could tow the semifunctional Budd cars through the canyon with steam! Covert the 19 to wood, so if the fisherman and toursists want to ride back to their cars, they can gather wood along the way.
In all seriousness, wouldn't it be a cool engine to run up here in N.E.Ore.? All we need is a golden goose that lays golden eggs. Anybody got Bill Gates' phone #?......
