SMV 70 swings north from Betteravia Junction |
| Description: |
The Santa Maria Valley RR is railfan friendly and a terrific trip back in time. SMV #70 is a GE 70-ton switcher built in January 1950 (Builder No. 30381) acquired for operation in November 1972 from Fort Dodge DM&S. At the time of this writing, her sister, SMV 80, is out of service in the engine house in Santa Maria, making this the only operating 70t on a railroad that once rostered almost half a dozen of the creatures. |

| Description: |
This neatly restored, classic GE 70 tonner sat in the annoyng drizzle during my only visit ever to the West Coast Railway Association Museum. Purchased in 1949, this unit was sold to Eurocan Pulp & Paper in Kitimat, BC in 1980, before spending its retirement years here in Squamish. |
