    Mountain Quarries #202 has been successfully placed on No Hands Bridge in Auburn,CA for the grand finale celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the railroad. Presentation will take place tomorrow (saturday) from 1pm to 2pm. Locomotive will remain on display on the bridge for a few days before being taken to Colfax for their Railroad Days. Sorry, no pics yet. :(

    She looks good on the bridge. Is this little girl operational?
    :question:

    Hmmm. I wonder if an old Docksider loco would make a good candidate for a model of #202?

    Unfortunately she is not operational at this time. Earlier this year the copper/brass/bronze thieves got to her and stripped many parts out of the cab. :(

    Too bad it's not operational right now, but it sure looks good. Hope they catch the...ahem...people who stole from it.
