Half Way to Sumpter

The train did not move very fast so I was able to get ahead of it for this photo. The rock piles next to the track are from the gold mining days. More about the mining days in an up-coming post

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.Ron McEwan August 05, 2010
