Saturday, September 7, 2019

I went to Niles Canyon on this day to photograph the NCRy Pro Railfan Event that day. This special train was powered by two iconic standard gauge Mallet locomotives, the 2-6-6-2T Clover Valley Lumber Company #4 and the 2-4-4-2 Columbia River Belt Line Railway #7, better known as the Skookum through Niles Canyon. After that I went to the California Central Model Railroad Club where we had an ops session.
