When and, for what? A 4000 class can't be turned there, as I think they discovered that 4014 could not SAFELY negotiate the "balloon track".
Absolutely. Colton Yard is an ex-SP yard that was built post-steam.
why turn it in colton? they turned it when it left Pomona.
big,
You are missing the point. You stated that "those guys from train mag seem to think she will return to colton.", but why? The 4014 is currently enroute to Cheyenne for for complete overhaul. The overhaul MUST be completed in time for the 150th anniversary of the driving of the gold spike May 10, 1869, i.e. 2019. So, I ask you again, why would 4014 "return to Colton", and when?
