Click photo to enlarge

Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (SRYC), Sierra Railroad 1922 Baldwin 2-8-0 number 28 under steam in the rain at Jamestown in 1978. Reportedly Sierra 28 was built by Baldwin in 1922, serial number 55254. Reportedly, in February 2009, the 28 was taken out of service after its crown sheet and other parts of the firebox were found to be too thin for legal operation. 28 sat stored in public view in the Jamestown roundhouse awaiting funds until August 2013 when it was torn down for repairs to its firebox along with new flues and Staybolts. After being out of service for a 5-year restoration, the 28 returned to operation on June 1, 2019.
