The annual event in California offered new products, unique and vintage locomotives, custom locomotives, BBQ dinner, prizes & awards, lots of young people running steam, coal firing, seminars, 105 car train, along with other steam related activities. We rode the Redwood Valley steam train in the peaks of the mountain and chase a train through Niles Canyon. Finished with many things steam in San Francisco.
Wow! That’s a lot of loops. Looks like it was fun. Thanks for posting.
Great video. Great selection of steamers and lots of loops.
Link to photos capturing a few moments in time during on the various tracks, people operating their steam locomotives and some unique aspects of the event:
We love the 7/8th scale Shay!
