Here's 1077 at the diamond, June 1968. A friend and I were up on the island for a week. We lucked into a cab ride shortly after this picture was taken. The round trip up to the reload at Naniamo Lake was awesome! 17 empties on the 3% grade had her down to sub walking speed for a couple miles.

And the next day leaving on another trip up the hill.

This was the only time I saw 1077 running. The next trip up, she was under a tarp, downhill from the reload.

I also spend a day in 1971, riding #4 at the mill in Chemainus. I really got excellent photos that day!

Steve
