Sierra Railway, Page 2

In my haste to post the story about my trip to Railtown 1897 yesterday, I neglected to check the one true and complete source of all things related to railroads: The Dome O’ Foam.

The Dome is developed, maintained, curated, etc. by my Uncle Edward–a retired railroad man and an amateur researcher/historian. He reminded me that he has a large collection of photos and other information related to Railtown. As an example, here’s Uncle Ed’s photo of the No. 34 (which I featured yesterday), which he took in 1971:

Back when she was still a runner.

The link to the Sierra Railroad section of The Dome is here. Be forewarned that once you go down that rabbit hole, you may never come back.
