The Little Giant is one of my favorite locos. We have a near twin out at Sumpter which will hopefully soon be moving over our rails.

Considering the costs of a new diesel vers keeping old steam going SP must have thought there was some future to the line or an expense of this kind would never have been made. 7 years of future operation (and 3 paint jobs) is nothing to ignore. Wish I could have seen the operation before it closed.
