About two weeks ago I was unable to sleep due to a sore neck and shoulder. About 4:00 AM I got out of bed and sat in my recliner chair. I turned on my TV and caught the beginning of "The Adventures of Annie Oakley", a 1950 western series. WOW!! the story was centered around the narrow gauge SP Owens valley branch. There were lots of scenes of ten wheeler no. 9 under steam running light and pulling trains. Scenes were shot in Laws, Owenyo and Keeler. Sure the story was hokey and Annie was even hokier but I was totally entranced with all the train scenes. BTW it was shown on MEtv, channel 17 here in Roswell GA. ODD-D
