No. 36 in operation on the Heber Creeper, August 1977.
Sierra Railroad No. 36 is 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotive built by Alco in 1930 for the Sierra Railway Company of California, where it used to haul heavy freight trains from Jamestown to Toulomne, California.
In 1962, it was retired from service and sold to the White Mountain Scenic Railroad at McNary, AZ, but kept the number 36. In 1976, however, it was sold to the Wasatch Mountain Railway.
Today, the engine was sold to a private owner, Fred Kepner, when he purchased and moved this locomotive along with former Sierra Railroad No. 18 and No. 38 to their current location in a field near Merril, Oregon.
