It appears that the successful June 1, 2008 excursion to San Diego has cleared the way for another trip. As part of the American Association of Private Rail Car Owners (AAPRCO) convention in San Pedro, on September 21 no. 3751 will haul the ‘inbound convention special’ from Los Angeles to San Diego and return. After arriving back in Los Angeles, the cars will be forwarded to San Pedro.
More details are available on the Schedules page. Also keep an eye on the AAPRCO convention page.

D&SNGRR no. 473 returns to service

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has outshopped ex-D&RGW 2-8-2 no. 473 for service. Last operated in late 2006 wearing “Bumblebee” paint applied for the 2006 RailFest, no. 473 received a boiler overhaul and a black paint job.
The annual RailFest will be August 21-24, 2008. Expect an appearance by the 2-8-0 no. 315, and perhaps even Dan Markoff’s ex-Eureka & Palisade 4-4-0 no. 4, “Eureka.” “Eureka” is again certified for service outside Nevada thanks to an FRA waiver granted on its boiler inspection.
