I love Laws, it's like going back in time. That wooden water pipe came from Bishop crk. canyon/lake Sabrina. It was in use up until the late 70's. Nice vid Mark, nice memories...
The museum is well worth stopping at, even if it is a little off the beaten path. They really put a lot of effort into restoring some of the items there and did a nice job of trying to convey what it was like back then with the way they set up the shops and businesses. I try to stop there every time I head down 395 that way. It's been fun following your trip.
excellent. We did stop briefly at Laws once, about 15 years ago, I think, can't remember, only had enough time to look a little bit and take a couple pictures. I want to go back there and spend some time looking at more of the stuff.
In the #9 cab the first lever was the throttle as you said. The second was the reverser, used to change direction and adjust the valves to control steam use in the cylinders. The brake was shown at the end of the cab tour. It was the brass lever close to the engineers seat. There are two of them. One for engine braking and one for train brakes. The lever on the fireman's side controls the atomizer in the fire box regulating the flow of fuel oil to be burned.
The abandoned railroad by Susanville the mills had a engine and took load of lumber to Wendell and p/u empties Wendell was first served by SP and after the merger WP and then UP I worked it a few times on WP in 90’s I guess they truck everything now

7:44 See. How is that, not a top heavy design. (looking at overkill wheel and but good break system).
