A truck carrying a very famous 0-6-0 makes a stop at Siskiyou Summit to check the brakes. Siskiyou Summit is the highest point on Interstate 5 at 4,310 feet, and has a 6% downhill grade into northern California, so truck drivers will often stop here at the pullout to rest and inspect their vehicles. The truck will make the hill without need of the runaway truck ramps, and Thomas will soon be operating at the Santa Cruz and Big Trees railroad in Felton, California in 10 days. |
