Wouldn’t you look really cool driving around the Eastern Sierra in this baby?
The Laws Railroad Museum and Historical Site, has announced an auction for their 1951 Chevy 6400 Water Truck. Additionally a 1950 Freight Trailer originally from Bekins Moving is up for auction. It was last used, and painted baby blue, by a former Mammoth painting contractor.
Both items are individually up for auction. Sealed bids with a minimum of $400 need to be dropped off at the Museum offices by noon, March 20.
“It even runs,” said Raven, the Museum’s administrator, of the old Chevy. Call 760-873-5950 for more information.
You’ve seen it by now, the new Laws Railroad Museum’s sign at the Tri-County Fairgrounds on North Sierra Highway that was installed a few weeks ago.
“The old sign was about 20 years out of date,” said Museum volunteer Jay Smart, of the fading and dilapidated old sign. Smart is main organizer of the new sign program.
The non-profit organization raised about $13,000 for the new sign, with the help of a matching grant from the Death Valley Conservancy.
The two-man crew from the sign’s designers, Wesco, came up from Los Angeles to install the large signs.
We reported on KIBS/KBOV the day the sign was installed, that it will certainly attract more visitors to the museum, once reopened after the COVID situation.
