Bringing the No. 618 back to the Tracks

Passion can be it's own force of nature. It drives us to become better, to do better, to try harder, and to follow our dreams. It takes passion to dedicate your life to honing your craft. The mechanics, machinists, and steel workers at the Heber Valley Railroad exhibit their passion for railcar and steam engine each day they go to work.

It takes passion to be willing to spend many thousands of hours of meticulous craftsmanship in order to restore the No. 618 steam engine. Watch how the machinists and steel workers at the Heber Valley Railroad work to restore the 110 year old steam engine to it's glory days.  When you spend that many hours on your craft it's hard not to become attached to your project. It's no surprise then to hear the emotion that comes from these men as they speak about the steam engine in reverence as they restore this engineering marvel.
