62 Years Later...

Sumpter Valley Railway boxcar number 1353 in Baker City, Oregon 62 years after being retired. These images are from the first inspection of the car that was carried out after the railroad was contacted in May of 2009, by the owners of the property who wanted to redo their yard, and needed the car removed. Thankfully the owners were extremely patient and understanding as it took more than a year to finally move the car to the Sumpter Valley Railroad for preservation.
