FLASH! Steam in Fillmore!

Saturday, May 15, was a Big Day at Fillmore. Steam arrived with a Baldwin Makado type Locomotive # 18 from the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. This locomotive will be used on the Fillmore & Western for a motion picture project.

The Engine arrived pulling the Saturday Scenic excursion train from "The Loose Caboose". After arriving in Fillmore it then was put on our RR Turntable making it the first real steam engine since we installed the RR Turntable.
