(Watch in HD) On June 7th-15th, 2014, Niles Canyon Railway hosted Steamfest 2014. On Friday, June 13th, 2014, Niles Canyon Railway held its last weekday run of Steamfest 2014, the quintuple header. The quintuple header was the main attraction to railfans because this was the first time Niles Canyon Railway hosted a "Quintuple Header" Event. Normally, it would be a "Quadruple Header", but in this case, due to the recent restoration completion of Clover Valley Lumber Co #4, a 2-6-6-2T Mallet, Niles Canyon Railway hosted a Quintuple Header. Also, normally Granite Rock #10, a Porter 0-6-0T located at California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA would be taking part of this event, but crews revealed thinning of the lower firebox sheets during its inspection on the locomotive, so that will take even more time to repair. Instead, Santa Cruz Portland Cement #2 "Chiggen", a Porter 0-4-0T from Davenport, CA took the place of Granite Rock #10 while it's undergoing restoration at California State Railroad Museum. Our cameras were on duty for the whole day recording every single aspect of this spectacular event. Join us as the train makes spectacular runbys and and views from inside the train as it strolls along the scenic Niles Canyon.

The following locomotives owned by Niles Canyon Railway Participated in this event:
