McCloud Railway Number 25

The colorful age of steam on the McCloud Railway came to a close 30 Mar 2011 when the last surviving oil-burning steam locomotive, Number 25, and its tender were loaded onto separate low-boy trucks and trucked away to Tillamook, Oregon, for use on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.
