Sumpter Valley Railway

Last weekend was my first visit to the Sumpter Valley Railway in Oregon. It is amazing what the SVRy staff & volunteers have accomplished. They didn't just takeover an existing RR, they have literally replaced the RR after it had been completely removed from the valley. No 19 has got to be the most beautifully restored Mikado anywhere, & on last Friday I got to be the "Engineer for A Day." It was a great experience! Many thanks to Dan, Scott, Taylor, Casey, Jerry, Jim, Fred, Dick, Mike, Sue, & the others for all their help.
