A classic side view of the Sierra #28 in front of the Jamestown Roundhouse. Photo taken in 1940’s and is from the Ken Meeker Collection.

The Sierra #18 taking on some new sand and maybe some water as well. Photo taken by Guy Dunscomb on February 2, 1949. Notice the structure to the left of the water tank, it’s part of the fuel bunker that was used in the earlier part of the century.

Sierra #30 from the Mallory Hope Ferrell collection. Date and location unknown. My guess is the picture was taken in Jamestown.
