As Mr. Curnow appears to have that particular R&LHS booklet "memorized", I will have to check out my copy upon my return home this evening and vouch for what he's saying !!! (grin)
My earlier comments, Sir Brian, had to do with earlier trips big "Tom M." alluded to at at an earliedr time that I could not find in said booklet.
Now then, I question what you just told John West about the WP 94 at St. Helena in 1959...
Do you mean to say, that long after the absolute FINAL run of SP STEAM, the SP allowed a WP steam locomotive on their Napa Branch trackage for excursion or movie work ??? Amazing, if so.
