For Snow Week 2024, let’s head west to view operations at two tourist railroads running 2-8-2 Mikado-type steam locomotives during the winter. We’ll begin at the Sumpter Valley Railroad in McEwen, Oregon, before jumping to Nevada to chase the Virginia and Truckee Railroad. Want to see and learn more about this class of steam locomotive? Link to the Kalmbach Hobby Store and discover the Great American Steam Locomotives: Mikados DVD – on sale now!

Dashing through the snow Mikado-type steam locomotives will go!
Beautiful film and sound work in the snow and also interesting history on these two small railroads, well done!
