McCloud Rails
Equipment Roster Flanger #1773 |
|
|
This clipping is from issue #309 of the Western Railroader. It shows four of the pieces of equipment donated by the McCloud to the proposed museum. The #1773 is the second car from the left, right behind the giant bucker plow. The third car in line is one of the box plow/flangers that the railroad preferred, and caboose #031 brings up the end of the line. The bucker plow, the #1773, caboose 031 and coach 01 are still in the Railroad Park Resort: a flash flood severely damaged the box plow/flanger many years ago, and its frame is now reportely part of the foundation underneath the kitchen area of the resort. Clipping is from the Glen Comstock collection.

Looking head on at one end of the car. The #1773 has seen it's share of winters and will not survive many more without some help in the near future. Dunsmuir, CA, 6/2004
