Ol’ #9 The Slim Princess
My newest black and white image is of the Slim Princess steam engine at Laws Railroad Museum just north of Bishop CA. Back in the 1880′s the Slim Princess use to chug along it’s narrow gauge rails on it’s run from Mound House NV to Keeler CA, (Originally the Carson and Colorado Railroad was meant to stretch all the way to the Colorado River, it never made it.) The Slim Princess ran this route until 1960 when the railroad ceased operation. She can now be seen at Laws, standing as a tribute to the past and looking like she could make the run for another 100 years.
