In El Portal Sits One Of The Train Engines That Brought Passengers To Yosemite National Park,Mariposa Photos,Mariposa 2006

With a side trip into El Portal the other day,
the Goldrushcam Crew was totally surprised
by the paint job that went onto the old
train engine, caboose and water tower.
A big thank you to whoever took on
this project and did such a great job !

What a wonderful transformation - it looks ready to roll. A hearty Thanks to the painters! Not knowing El Portal well, where is the train located?
