Simpson Railroad's Final Days June 12, 2015

This once great shortline logging railroad was running some last clean up and switching chores in Shelton in preparation for cessation of operations that would occur on the 30th of June.  This film includes a long segment in which a string of ballast cars are retrieved from Knights Siding.  The camera is shaky due to being hand-held during a rough ride on the back of the switch engine.  Cab rides on the 1201 and 1202 and some trackside angles along with a turntable segment.
