A Day with Santa Maria Valley

Santa Maria Valley #205 was in constructed in 1924 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, Pennsylvania for the San Joaquin & Eastern Railroad in California. In 1933 the locomotive was sold to the Santa Maria Valley Railroad, where it moved freight cars until it was retired in May 1950 and moved to the fairgrounds in Santa Maria. In 1983 that George Lavacot acquired #205 from the fairgrounds in Santa Maria and moved her by flatcar to his shops at the old Valley & Siletz Railroad yard in Independence, Oregon. Someone had referred to #205 as ‘just another Baldwin Pig.’ The nickname ‘Porky’ has stuck ever since. In January 2015, after a 32-year restoration job, #205 was steamed up once again. In November 2021 #205 made its inaugural public run on the Albany & Eastern Railroad’s Santiam Excursion Train from Lebanon, Oregon to Sweet Home and back. In July 2023, looking to expand the Santiam Excursion Train service, #205 was brought out to pull a test train from Lebanon to Albany (Page), to Crabtree on the Mill City branch and back to Lebanon. A few of us were very fortunate to be able to ride this train.
