Before Gerry M gets too far on his run I will complete my part of the car's run over its home rails on the Kettle Valley Line.
Shortly after arriving at Kettle Valley, Extra 4052 had to stop because of a loose cooling water hose on one of the trailing units (CPA 16-4 # 4104). Those old CLC/FM units tended to go through cooling water like a sailor goes through beer on a Saturday night run.
Once repaired, the cooling tanks had to be refilled at the water tank before the train could continue.
Once that was done, Extra 4052 continued on to deliver its load of Spenda Ice Cream and Frozen Pizza to the Cascadia Distribution warehouse.
Here we catch TGR #101976 as it crosses a small pile trestle over the Kettle River.
