There station features a line which has working #SteamLocomotives and you can take a trip to nearby destinations. I suppose it’s for #TrainEnthusiasts, and those interested in a bit of #Nostalgia, #Heritage and #History. I might take a trip on it one day too.
The Tuolumne Heisler:
I Love Steam Locomotives; and some of the best examples of the narrow-gauge, gear-driven design are just a short drive from our home in Monterey Bay, at Roaring Camp Railroads.
This Valentine's Day, Engine #2 was in operation, which was my first ride with it.
I have been in the Dixiana Shay several times now. The Heisler has a very different personality and it was treat to compare the two.

@Sarahw @HannahHowe ten years ago, several surviving Nigel Gresley "Pacific" class locomotives were gathered together. A rather special event!
(I'm not much of a train spotter, but take the opportunity when offered!)
I'm not a big train person but this thing is way cool. One of these is in a park about a mile and a half from where I live, so I can testify it is massive. 🚂

I love my new addition to my OO9 (1:76) engine collection. #Hunslet 0-4-0 quarry #SteamLocomotives are just soo cute. But in real life they were operated under harsh conditions.
This one can be seen at the #BalaLakeRailway in #Wales. And this little model, made by #Bachmann, can be obtained there too.

@MsDropbear42 there was a NSWGR locomotive class known as pigs: the 36 or 32 class I think. I reckon there was also a BR class that was called something similar. I'm guessing there were probably others, too.
