Re: Yreka Western#19 for sale

As much as I'd like to see the YW 19 and McCRRR 25 come to Alamosa, it ain't going to happen. Both are too small to be of much use to us in Alamosa. I think the 19's listing on Ozark's sight was put on by the creditor to whom the YW owes a ton of cash. I just got back from seeing both engines run last weekend. #19 needs a bunch of running gear work, but has a solid boiler. #25 is a real cutie. It is for sale too at $6-800K depending on who you ask. To have #25 leave McCloud would be a shame as she has been on the same railroad and lived in the same town ever since she was built in 1925.
