Your mention of the stock footage of the loco reminds me of a movie that I watched a year
ago...it was filmed in WA on the Crown-Z line out of Cathlamet and showed one of their
2-6-6-2T engines. I believe this was used again here. Your mention Jeff, of Pacific Lbr.
then made me think that the caboose shown coulda been TPL's with that shape of the cupola.
TPL still had branches running of off the NWP in the early 50's including one at Elinor,
south of Scotia.
Thanks for the help.
