Downhill on the Sumpter Valley Railroad

 

 

 Getting ready to head downhill back to McEwen.

 Look at all of those patents!

 I love those steam pistons.

 Smoking away.

 The engineer talking with someone on the platform.

 An old luggage caddy.

 

 Watch out for bears!

 Doing some maintenance to the engine.

 

 Oiling things up.

 

The engine steaming in the station.

 Safety first!

 Getting up in the cab.

 The boiler and fire box.

I love those brass gauges!

 The engineer’s seat.

 They let me sit in the engineer’s seat!  This is what I worked through three degrees to do!  I’m a real engineer!

 

Steaming out of the station.

 Steaming south.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 A little speeder.

 The fire tender.

 

 

 

 Coming into McEwen Depot.

 The engine heads off to the switch so it can run to the other end of the train for the next departure to Sumpter.

 Boilers waiting to be put into an engine someday.

 Filling up with water.

And some wood.
