Turning No.7 at Camp DeWoody Reader Railroad.

I want to run the armstrong unit! That looks like a fun ride.

I hope you can fix enough track to get a profitable tourist excursion going again. As the last industrial railroad working solely behind steam, the reader is a special line.

Are you sure this isn't the Black Hills Central railroad? The locomotive looks like the #7 up there, and they share the same number, they even look the same and have the same 2-6-2 arrangement. This has got to be it.

@SierraRailway that reader. that's also the tender unit from the north and south mini series.

I caught the Reader actually doing maintenance on #2 I think it was, a few weeks back. Definitely not #7 though.

Will the Reader ever open to passenger business again?... or at least run steam every now and then?

[joelpatricksimmons]

yes they run it every now and then they just used to it for 310 to yuma and will be on channel 7 new's

Thanks! - I've been waiting for some kind of update on the railroad's condition.
