Bring in the B-train
With lots of passengers still standing on the depot platform after the 10:30 AM departure, the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad brings a second section into the station, which will load and depart no more than 15 minutes behind the first one. This image was captured on Labor Day Weekend of 2025, when patronage was sufficiently large that most of the regular trains had second section. The power on the B-train today is Heisler #2 "Tuolumne", a 37-ton, 2-Truck machine built in 1899. While she waits for the passenger to board, the crew of #2 will top off her water supply from the wooden tank pictured here.
