Dear group,

An intriguing image showed up on Ebay:

A well-attired trainman is hanging off SP 2-8-0 #2728. After a quick search online, it turns
out the train was an SP excursion on 9/22/57, from Oakland to Placerville.

This was an excursion sponsored by the R&LHS on September 22, 1957 from Oakland
to Placerville. SD-9 5363 was added at Sacramento as a helper.

You know, life doesn't get much better than a steam excursion in September. You old timers were
really lucky!
