I remember walking around the engine house in Scotia in 1965 telling the people I was with none of this stuff should be allowed to leave the county. #29, #35 and #37 were still there. Only #29 was still inside hooked up for steam. #35 went to Heeber Creeper and I think is still at Henderson, Nevada at NSRM through a trade. I believe #37 went to Frank Bayliss at Alton for a time before going south to Nervo, then east to Delaware where it is now. #29 was still at Glendale waiting for the move to Samoa last I noticed. Not sure if that's happened yet. I think under the circumstances we are a long, long way from seeing #37 out West again. Hammond #16 and #17 are close by in Washington State. #17 used to be on display at Rohner Park in Fortuna before going north. I used to play on #16 in the dead line at Samoa when I was a kid. Think #16 ran at Klamath for a time under Gus Haggmark in the early 1970's before going north to Shelton, WA. Even the A&MRR #12, 2-6-6-2 sits behind a chain link fence near Flagstaff, AZ pretty much out of site out of mind. Right now the NWP depots at Fort Seward and Fernbridge and the A&MR depot in Blue Lake are the only railroad structures left in the county aside from the Samoa Roundhouse and shop. It's devastating to think how much has disappeared since 1970.
