> Another move provided from the Oracle from Bend?

Here is what the Oracle said on TO 3/4/19:

This morning saw the delivery at Ft. Bragg, California of former SP 0-6-0 #1227 from Oakdale, California. Little has been disclosed about this move.

The Sierra Northern at Oakdale obtained SP #1227 from the Golden Gate RR Museum in 1996. The engine has originally been donated by SP to the City of Alameda in the 1950's. The Sierra Northern has the same owners as the California Western RR in Ft. Bragg.

With Calif-Western 2-8-2 out of service and in need of serious reapir, one could wonder if #1227 wasn't seen as a candidate for restoration at the C-W shops in Ft. Bragg.

However, word is that #1227 is only going to be painted and put on display by the depot in Ft. Bragg. With the salt air there, that will certainly take a toll on this poor engine.

Time will tell.
