We went on this trip today and got to ride on the train, but we were stuck on it for like an hour bcuz the engine broke down and they had to bring us a new one. Plus, i didnt like all those people yelling at us, and we had a super short lunch time. That was the only bad thing about the field trip.
Good call, that's exactly what it is. Fun to catch it out steaming though since they usually only run it for special events; it can't handle the grades on the main part of the line.

WOW! You really came to RC&BT on a special day. They only very rarely fire this one up.

Looks like a Hawaiian plantation locomotive. But even by those standards it's small.

I know. Many Hawaiian plantation locomotives were NG.

Thank you for posting! At one time Roaring Camp was going to sell this locomotive. I haven't seen it run since the 60's.
