July 2003.  Modesto, California.

TS 305 soars through the air before reuniting with its trucks at a temporary storage facility in Modesto.  Triple R Heavy Haul and Hatton's Crane and Rigging handled the planning and movement.  The following photos show the caboose coming in for a landing, fully reunited with its trucks and a detail of one of the archbar trucks.  Eventual plans are to restore the 305 and have it displayed on a stretch of TS track in the north end of Modesto.
