Military Railways: Chart of Units

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I'd think that they'd make ideal museum/tourist road locos - simple  
and light on their feet.  However, I overheard one of the crew  
members of the Cal State RR Museum's ex-Army (ex-Granite Rock Co.) 60  
ton 0-6-0T make a non-complimentary remark about how well built it  
was.  OTH, it runs every day on the Museum's passenger train.

Having been to the TVRM just a month or so ago I recall that TVRM  
#610 is an ex-military locomotive from the literature they have  
there. It looks and runs fine, I might add.
