In honor of West Side Lumber Co. Shay No. 14's recent restoration and rechristening as "Rosa" in honor of Rosa Ashby, who along with her husband Lindsey played such a huge role in bringing the Georgetown Loop back to life in the early 1970s, I unearthed this old family video of a 1991 ride behind No. 14 on the Loop.
The titles, editing, and music are from a long time ago so my apologies for its aged appearance! Unfortunately, the original sources remain on some old VHS-C tape somewhere.
Along the way, you will get some glimpses of D&RGW freight cars and at 5:17 you can see C&S 2-6-0 No. 9 still in red paint sitting on Morning Star siding. Pulling into Silver Plume you get a glimpse of Oahu Railway and Land Co. diesel 15 and at the end you'll see Shay No. 12 steamed up outside the engine house.
