With the number 19 scheduled to be removed from service for routine boiler work in June, renowned railroad photographer Martin Hansen organized a photo special utilizing both of our operable locomotives on May 14 and 15, 2010. This was our first spring charter in quite a few years, and luckily the weather cooperated.
