The correct arch bar trucks came back to the CATS from the Alder Gulch R/R in Montana. The Friends worked like dogs up there for 2 weeks every summer for 3 years to pay for them. We really fixed up their R/R and got about 15 or so trucks in various condition for our efforts. Several of them still have UTLX stenciled on them long ago while working on the narrow gauge.

John, I stand corrected, it was not magic, it was blood sweat and tears! :) The volunteers really do make a difference! Russ
