In Transport
Title:  In Transport
Description:  A truck carrying a very famous 0-6-0 makes a stop at Siskiyou Summit to check the brakes.

The truck will make the hill without need of the runaway truck ramps, and Thomas will soon be operating at the Santa Cruz and Big Trees railroad in Felton, California in 10 days.
