In 1988 the railroad received a big boost from the only surviving family member of railroad founder David Eccles. His daughter Emma Eccles Jones, 93, made a generous donation to fund expansion efforts. She wrote the railroad a letter reminiscing about taking a private train to the end of line with her mother to pick huckleberries. Her grant enabled the purchase of a SVRy wooden clerestory coach #20.

Oooo, I was looking forward to this interior shot, Denny. Great pov right up the asile, giving that vanishing-point look from the windows, ceiling and seats from each side ~imiitating the look of railroad tracks leading into the distance. #8809756
