1953 Aug - McCammon to Soda Springs (Roll 305)

On August 22, 1953, Emil Albrecht found LA&SL 2-8-2 at McCammon, Idaho, on the OSL, switching cars for the local that worked between Pocatello and Montpelier. He followed the local to Bancroft (MP 161), then headed on east to Soda Springs, where he found LA&SL 2-10-2 5509 and its westbound train headed for Pocatello. LA&SL 5509 did a bit of switching at Soda Springs, and headed on out of town, with Emil giving chase. On the way, he took photos of a couple other trains, as well as a fine overhead shot of 5509 as it passed under U.S. 30 at MP 186, just east of McCammon. (Roll 305; some rescanned 2019)
