Frisco Mikado Steam Locomotive
Second Day Road Trip!!
On Miss Calico's second coal train run, this train chaser
caught the Mikado working her way through Bessie Mountain
on her way home.
On Friday the second revenue trip was made to the mainline junction.
"Miss Calico" has just come out of the mountain tunnel on her way
into town. Today, "Miss Calico" made the trip by herself.
This second coal train will complete the job orders for the week.
After the crew delivers this coal train to the yard, the Mikado
will be moved to the service area for the weekend.
As "Miss Calico" blows her whistle announcing her arrival
back home the citizens of Calico, Texas are standing on the
station platform and along the track waiting to welcome her
home after her second run.
"Miss Calico" and her consist are sitting on this side track
waiting for the yard crew to align the switches so this coal
train can be backed into the yard. The photographer of this
picture was standing on top of the yard's light tower.
