they had three of these running in 66. the 100 (which may have been a second 100), the 200, and 300. one of which is/was kind of semi-streamlined. they only had the one steamer yet, a small drivered mike, and 3 erie stillwell coaches they had JUST gotten, less then six months before to pull behind it. they were still primarily in business as a freight line, logs to and finished lumber from, the mill that was still in operation, at ft brag, finished lumber to the interchange with the sp at willits. if this was the 200 then i must have ridden what was, neither the streamlined nor this one, that had two radiators all the way across the front and a baggage compartment at the rear of the car.
anyway i don't have good pictures of my own of the car itself, but i have several taken out the front windshield, we managed to get a seat right behind the engineer, so i was able to get some decent shots out the front that way. there was a jack rabbit that we fallowed for miles, that just kept running straight down the track in front of us. eventually he finally did figure out to jump off to the side out of the way, but it must have been four or five miles before he figured out to do so.
i may post one of those, now that this is reminding me of that.
