I got an email recently that the restored Carson & Colorado, aka Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge, locomotive #18 will be running at the Laws RR museum on Sept. 23-24!!
Hi Ray- Yes I occasionally follow the C&C activities, that is very cool! We were in the Eastern Sierra recently, love going to Laws. No chance for me to go back there for this, however.
So are you going and maybe taking photos??

Here is a photo gallery of the restoration of Southern Pacific narrow gauge engine #18

Does anyone know how much track is useable at Laws for the engine and Death Valley car?
According to the information I found on their FB page, it’s about 3000 feet of track right now.
I am really impressed. Maybe they can lay track back to Independence!
My grandmother rode that train about 1918 when she took the train from Milwaukee and came out to visit her brother who was farming near Big Pine.
Excellent, another restored locomotive is always a great thing!
