Steam Locomotive #25: Trips to Dunsmuir |
|
|
On 19 June 1982 the #25 travelled to Mt. Shasta City where three SP diesels awaited its arrival. Once there the four locomotives proceeded down the SP mainline to Dunsmuir, where the #25 remained on display during the annual Railroad Days event. The #25 remained there on display for several days before returning to McCloud. Then, on 23 June 1984 the #25 again visited Dunsmuir, this time with the VIP caboose #553 in tow. The purpose of this trip was to meet up with the World's Fair Daylight as it returned to Portland from New Orleans. The #25 waited for the Daylight at the south end of the yard and then paralleled the Southern Pacific #4449 up to the depot. SP then allowed the #25 to follow the Daylight from Dunsmuir to Mt. Shasta under its own power. |
