I enjoyed my time at the event, and I have more photos of other different steam locomotives.

For the many of us not familiar, where is Glenbrook? And, are you willing to post more photos?

In Carson City, Nevada, I probably will, the "willing" part is where I'm hoping that people would like these photos. I'm still new to this forum so bear with me.

Thanks.
To elaborate a bit, the Glenbrook is a narrow gauge mogul built in 1875 for the Carson and Tahoe Lumber & Fluming company. It has had a few owners since then. Currently resides at the Nevada State RR museum in Carson City. She underwent a very extensive restoration that was completed a few years ago. She has been restored to her as-built appearance (more or less).
The photo is from the Great Western Steamup event which was put on for the 150th anniversary of the Virginia & Truckee and also to celebrate Nevada railroad history.
A sister engine of Glenbrook is Nevada County Narrow Gauge #5 which was named Tahoe when she was stablemates with the Glenbrook. This event in Carson City was the first time these 2 engines have been together since 1937. NCNG 5 was just completed last month.
The 2 other narrow gauge engines that attended the event were Eureka & Palisade 4 which is an 1875 4-4-0 and the SP 18 which is a 1911 Baldwin 4-6-0.
I’ve added a few of my own pics for reference
