Thanks to the Late Jeff Forbis of the McCloud River Railroad(McCloud Railway) and the YREKA Western railway. Jeff did the initial restoration to operating condition at McCloud and the Yreka Western Railway purchased and preserved both the EX McCloud River Railroad #18 and the #19 during the dieselization era and housed them for decades.
Hey nice video thanks for posting. I didn't understand where you picked up the shot at 3:29, were you up in the Gold Hill cemeteries and the train just came out of Tunnel 2? Seems like it. Nice catch on the cab rides. In case you didn't know, you can head out into American Flat (carefully, though the mine is shut down atm). There's some good vantage points in there. I did this video recently, no sound sorry, but shows good drone views of the train running around American Flat. th-cam.com/video/h-AjXY_W21w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your comment! I was positioned just next to the grade crossing at Gold Hill and my camera was able to zoom far enough to capture the train all the way across the canyon.
