And out she heads... The Goleta Valley steamer crosses one of several bridges. |
Two trains loaded with passengers pass on nearby tracks. The oncoming train is a Goleta Valley steamer engineered by John LeBeck. Bob's Northern heads across the bridge with a full load of passengers. Steaming up at the steaming bays. No. 20's coal fire is stoked. A little closer shot of No. 20 firing up.
