MCR 2-6-2 #25 - McCloud River RR |
| Description: |
Looking like a wintry photo from the early 1900's, this was actually taken in 1966. Purchased new from Alco-Schenectady in 1925, this loco served the McCloud River RR and McCloud River Rwy before being sold to the Oregon Coast Scenic RR in March of 2011. Along the way, the photogenic locomotive starred in three movies - Bound For Glory, Stand By Me, & Changeling. It continues to provide excursion service at its new home in Oregon. Unknown photographer. |
