Steam Returns to Highland

Howdy folks,

After over 50 years of the Highland Valley area not seeing a single steam locomotive, the DRL are offering excursions with a recently acquired 0-6-0 tank engine of NH vintage. It is being used on short excursions over the spur connecting the Greenwood Yard to the new commuter line being built via a wye. The excursions are being used to presserve larger steam locomotives for future use.

Here we see the 0-6-0 preparing to depart the Greenwood satelite station.

An FP45 recently purchased by the DRL to be used on express services sits in the yard awaiting asignment.
