Get ready for the second annual Pacific Coast Roundup at the Historic Santa Margarita Ranch near San Luis Obispo, CA. Work this past weekend included timing the 1897 Porter/Crown 2-6-2 and she is running pretty square now with a good bark. For those of you who attended last year, you will hear the difference this time.
Also there is an operating Russel Steam Traction Engine and an Erie Boiler Works Steam Wagon that will be in operation also.
Today, I had the privelge of firing and running the latest acquisition of the Pacific Coast RailRoad - former AstroWorld Harpur #1. This engine will most likely be coupled to a freight train and running behind one of the two passenger trains during this event. The fourth Disney Coach is going to online for this event also.
Make your plans now to attend. Photo was taken Saturday while the Porter was under steam and being checked for the timing.
