Re: Grizzy Flats Railroad Footage?

Emma was a coal burner and when the neighborhood filled in, having a smelly black soot steam engine didn't sit too well with some of Wards neighbors. The Chloe was a wood burner and you only had to heat something like 50 gallons of water to make steam so running it made a lot more sense. I also heard that the time on the boiler had run out on Emma had run out by 1960. If I recall correctly I heard that Ward last put a fire in Emma and built up boiler pressure to something like 50PSI so he could blow the whistle to honor the Bicentenial in 1976.
