Northern California. Right off the 5 fwy north of Redding. Very small town. It's up by Mount Shasta

Weres that place at?

The reason for the diesels is that they only fired up the steamer occassionally, the diesels drive the rest of the time. The Challenger makes more than enough power for the job, but she's high maintenance and the facilities that can service such a locomotive are few and far between. So they save its operation to ensure it runs when the promoters and sponsors paid for it to run. It's all politics. And for the record the 1984 is an SD70ACe and the 3984 is an SD70MAC.

That's true. It's steam insurance. Railroad steam was very romantic, to be sure, but colossally inefficient, expensive,
