Coming Around the Bend

Barview, OR


Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad No. 25 with the Three Graces off to the right https://pbase.com/globalgadabout/image/172703894). David did an outstanding job of pre trip research and I credit him 100% for my opportunities to capture images like this. Per Wikipedia: McCloud Railway No. 25 is a 2-6-2 "Prairie" type steam locomotive that worked on the McCloud River Railroad. It was purchased new from the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1925. Shortly after retirement, on July 3, 1955, the 25 ceremoniously opened the Burney Branch by bursting through a paper banner with a special excursion train. In 1962, No. 25 was restored for excursion service and served in that capacity until passenger service was once again terminated in 1975. It has since been used in the films Bound for Glory, Stand By Me and Changeling and is presently in Oregon, providing excursion service on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.
