Steam Train Rides
Chehalis, Washington

July 20th, 2013















The Baldwin Locomotive #15, built in 1916














Chehalis Station, exit 77 from I-5















When it comes to train, it's all about me - the young kid, always 10 years old.













This is 2-8-2 wheel arrangements.
Its last working assignment was to pull log train for the Cowlitz, Chehalis and Cascade Railroad,
which operated until the mid 1950's.












I am imagining an old photograph.















In three years, this locomotive is 100 years old. (2016)














I told you, it's all about me...
















Okay, it's almost 1:00 P.M., Pokie bought two tickets.














The locomotive pulls its cars which are restored "heavyweight" coaches from the 1920's.














Ready to be "parked" next to the station















The locomotive backs up and picks up more cars from the barn.















Back to the barn....
































Use your imagination, it is 1916















Now, the trains moves forward, ready to pull at 1:00 P.M.
































Milburn is as far as we go.














The locomotive uncouples and pulls from the opposite side back to Chehalis
































Mostly straight line, farms on the left and right.
















Back to Chehalis, one last look!
In the background is the Interstate 5
