Greetings Fellow Railfans
Southern Pacific 1100, the only operating TR6 that we are aware of is now safe and sound and running at the Portola Railroad Museum. This is a neat locomotive. I had the opportunity to ride it around the balloon track this weekend, it still retains it’s dual control stands (Both operational), It’s SP style numberboards on the long hood (also operational). The Locomotive is slated to enter the RAL (Run A Locomotive) program at the museum. We took pictures of it that will be developed Monday and posted to the website.
For those that donated to help us move this locomotive, we give a special thanks. We also want to thank Sierra Pacific Industries for their generous donation of this locomotive to the Portola Railroad Museum.
On a side note, along with the TR6, We will be storing serviceable for Sierra Pacific, Their SW7 #12. She is also in great condition and I’ll post photos of he as well.
Thanks again
