Not to try to stir anything up here but this actually happened.

The late Erich Thomsen (sp?) told me that he got an OK to run his former McCormick & Baxter 0-4-0T 202 from Oakland to San Francisco just before the rails were removed. He regretfully added that he miscalculated the amount of water needed and had to turn back somewhere around Yerba Buena. If you've ever seen the locomotive, you could understand what happened. She was used briefly on the V&T in the 70's and later at the christmas tree farm at Silver Bend just south of Sacramento.
