Pioche Pacific abandoned shay?
| July 27, 2017 01:38AM |
In a recent quest to learn about more whimsical US NG railroads I came across the Pioche Pacific railroad through UtahRails. [utahrails.net]
Reading through the history I noted that apparently one of the railroads shays remains partially buried somewhere along the route. (the other shay is now in Washington being restored). Anyone ever visited Pioche or possibly know more about this locomotive? And if it still is there?
This is apparently an image of the locomotive.
