Description

22-R Sierra Railway Engine #36, new, 1930. Leonard Ruoff - 36 and 38 were last two big engines the Sierra had. Used them between Oakdale and Sonora. Man in the cab could be Ernest McCallum; man in front Joe Cavagnaro, Doris Fletcher Mills father. Update by visitor: Sierra Railway engine #3 derailed at Sanguinetti Ranch, November 25, 1918. Locomotive was westbound on "down" passenger train, and hit a broken rail. In background are Railway Post Office and baggage car #8 and Shay locomotive #12 coming to the rescue!
