Santa Maria Valley Steam Locomotive. Built by Baldwin in 1924 and lovingly restored by George Lavacot and his friends in a process that took 40 years, this steam locomotive is once again alive and thundering down the rails! The engine now lives with the Albany & Eastern railway in Lebanon, Oregon.
I love this series. They did a great job with the restoration and you did a great job capturing it!

A truly magnificent restoration of a classic steam locomotive! I can't imagine the man-hours and expense that went into this project.

Really like to see rebuilding of steam engines. Two of my nephews are engineers fox the Blue Mountain Reading and Northern, and operate their two engines, 425, and 2100 series. Don’t remember if it’s 02, 04. Thanks for sharing.
