Old #45 Back On Tracks

Old steam engine #45, often called the Super Skunk, is again carrying passengers between Fort Bragg and

Northspur, Ca., along a route enhanced by redwoods, fern canyons, wildlife, creeks, bridges and trestles. The Georgia-Pacific owned Cali- fornia Western Railroad, in cooperation with the Fort Bragg Chamber of Commerce, will have regular runs of the steam train every Thursday and Friday until September 7 in addition to a regular daily diesel train schedule. The train was recently repaired for a role in the film "Racing With the Moon" which was shot in the Fort Bragg area. Use of steam trains on the CWR line ended in 1956 but was partially resumed in 1965 with the purchase of Engine 45, built in l921by Baldwin for the Brownlee-Olds Lumber Co. of Medford, Or. After 15 years of service the train was discontinued because of major repair work needed and its high cost of operation.

"A Nation in Tlansition," relates closely to the theme of this year's show, "An Industry in Tfansition."

The outstanding success of the first show clearly demonstrated the need for a truly regional annual show for manufacturers and suppliers of do-ityourself products with special marketing interests in the West, they said.

Show sponsor spokesmen said that as a result of strong response by both exhibitors and retailers to last fall's first show, both the south and southwest exhibit halls at Anaheim have been reserved for this year's show.
