Up on blocks
Title:  Up on blocks
Description:  Number 5 was bought by Oregon's Valley & Siletz RR in 1954; the road was abandoned in stages through Dec 1984, when it was sold to the Willamette Valley RR. The 70T sits on blocks at the former V&S shop at Independence after what was left of the road had supposedly been completely shut down.

Westsider Patch
Title:  Westsider Patch
Description:  Still rolling through 2nd Street. I'm going to take this time to apologize to any GP39-2 fans I made mad by saying they suck compared to a GP38. While they still do suck, ours have these really neat fold-away desks and I had mine out all day long! :)

Kinda blurry
Title:  Kinda blurry
Description:  George Lavacot's (aka Lavacot Locomotive Works) pair of old SP SD9s rest on the old Valley & Siletz main line. I thought these were usually parked in or near a building and were totally inaccessible, yet you could walk right up to these to get shots (in the morning, for best light) if you so desire. All that stuff in the foreground is part of the CWR plant, I believe. I don't know if the P&W owns the CWR plant or if it's a private concern.
