Sweet I have family ties to that lumber company. My moms uncle's grandfather operated a steam donkey on one of their camps so he saw many trains roll by his camp with caboose's like that caboose you guy's have.
Update, Orange Empire is restoring Emma Nevada back to steam, and they are dead serious. Half of the valve gear linkage has been taken out, the firebox has been gutted, all of the backhead gauges and piping have been taken out, a new air-compressor and piping have been installed, a new air tank and air lines have been mounted on the tender, and a new draw bar & pin have been installed on the engine and tender. What lies next is to undo the boiler jacket, take out the boiler tubes, and give the boiler an ultra sound, but they need donations and volunteers to help out in order to get her back to working order.
Right now she's just a static display at the museum. The locomotive hasn't run in years since being retired after experiencing boiler problems at the Grizzley Flats Railroad. However, I was told that she might be restored in the future, but it's mighty expensive.
Durango offered to restore her, and in return use her to haul the Presidential Special at railfests, but Orange Empire turned it down. That is one big mistake.
This is an AWESOME photo/video collection of the narrow gauge equipment! In my opinion, Emma Nevada is THE prettiest narrow gauge steam loco still in existence! BTW is that a hybrid caboose at 1:20? Glenn.
I am not too sure, I recently started volunteering at the OERM so I don't know too much other that it requires some work. Although I have heard they may eventually build enough narrow gauge track for it to run on. As of now the tracks you see in this video are more or less all the narrow gauge track they have laid so far. I will admit I'd love to see it run too it'd would be a pretty amazing sight.
Hearsay via my mother, My mom told me abt this long ago, however we never came to see where it is located: sure would of been nice, as I would of liked to of seen it. She said there used to be a train that ran through Grizzly Flats.
It would cool, if only there was somebody else that can help restore Emma Nevada to operation again. I would like to see the locomotive back in operation.
the Emma Nevada is not the only one being restored. the chole is being restored as well I'm not to sure about that union pacific Mikado. i don't think the tracks will support its weight
There are rumors going about stating that Ema will soon be receiving a new boiler, and will be back in steam. I am not sure if it's true or not, we'll have to wait and see.
@@tylergreen4843 the Emma Nevada is currently in California, the opposite side of the country from WDW. But if they were to take it there, it could run there if restored since the WDWRR locos are roughly the same size as the Emma Nevada.

Oh boy when they get Emma Nevada running again that’ll be a sight for sore eyes

Those are great photos, and it's nice to see her getting some sun light.

it's a shame she doesn't run anymore it would be nice if they could get her up and running again
Cool train
Thank you Ryan, added to a playlist...
Great video.

I was at the orange empire railway museum back in January and she was in pieces getting rebuilt I think

VERY NICE VIDEO!!! Salutations of Spain........Jordi.
This is very nice video. 2 thumbs up.
Thank you.
@pennyf9 The Grizzly Flats is stored at the OERM in it's own barn along with other narrow gauge railroad.

Oh cool. Thanks.
What if Emma Nevada can visit the Durango and Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec in the future if it can fit on their tracks?

where is the Grizzly Flats Depot? Does the OERM run Chloe?
when is she going to return to steam?
I heard that the Chloe will run in around 2021, so sometime after then I would assume the Emma Nevada will run.
@@erikschiller7210 what gauge is the emma Nevada? 3ft 914mm narrow gauge or standard gauge
@@tylergreen4843 3ft narrow gauge. It ran on the same Railroad as the Chloe.
@@erikschiller7210 so does that mean that IF the emma Nevada was restored, could it run on the walt disney world railroad? Or is it too far gone
