Pacific Coast Roundup



Many Bitter Creek Western folks are also supporters of the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum (SLORRM) and the Pacific Coast Railroad (PCRR) at the Santa Margarita Ranch. Today was a fundraiser for the SLORRM at the PCRR.








Brad (on the steps) and Mike (looking toward the camera) prep for the day's activities.




Dale has been putting this Baguley-Drewry No. 7 (an 0-6-0) together since it arrived on palettes (quite rusted out and in pieces) in December. It was made in England in 1982 for a sugar plantation in South Africa. It runs on 600mm gauge track (23 and 5/8 inches).








The first Disney coach has been refurbished, and it's beautiful! That's Patti at the back of the car.

Bill, Kevin, and Matt in the Assistencia where many of the vendors and exhibitors were housed. All three are members of the Friends of the SMVRR, to which many folks helping today belong.








Bitter Creek provided a 7.5" gauge train for today's festivities.

On the way home, we caught the southbound Amtrak Coast Starlight coming down
the Cuesta Grade near the horseshoe curve by Cal Poly SLO.
