| --Tender and Cab Restoration-- In 2022, Friends of No, 9 made significant progress in its restoration of Engine No. 9. Following completion of restoring the tender in 2021, the cab of the locomotive has also been restored, sandblasted and primed. Due to extensive corrosion, the Millerick Brothers rebuilt the cab using historic pieces as patterns and matching the rivet locations and trim pieces. In fact, the recreation even matches a missing rivet from the top of the cab. These two pieces are positioned together at the work yard of the Millerick Brothers and have been displayed to board members of Friends of No. 9 and staff from the California State Parks.--Boiler & Frame Restoration--To facilitate restoration of the boiler and frame of the locomotive, the entire engine was transported to the Millerick Brothers yard in Sebastapol thanks to a generous donation by the Ghilotti Construction Company. To gain access to the rusted and deteriorated frame rails, the boiler was lifted off separately, which enabled a closer examination of the rusted parts. To rebuild the frame rails, a donor I-beam was obtained because the historic dimensions are not longer produced. About 20 feet of top and bottom plate pieces were cut, replaced, welded and ground smooth, resulting in a strong foundation for reassembly of the locomotive. Several areas of the boiler were identified to be replaced that required drilling out the massive bolts and nuts that held it together. The restoration will replace some very thin rusted sections with new steel and fastened with bolts matching the historic ones. Removal of the boiler facilitated access to the geared trucks and 2-cylinder motor, which will be worked on in 2023. | $38,584 |
| --Display Options for Engine 9--Friends of No. 9 made significant progress in pursuing two permanent display locations for the engine. Extensive discussions with the City of Mill Valley and a public meeting of the City's Parks and Recreation Commission led to a proposal to place No. 9 on a newly expanded portion of the Depot Plaza in downtown Mill Valley. Friends of No. 9 engaged RHAA, a world renowned landscape architecture firm, to assist in creating a plan for an attractive, interactive display that will engage the Mill Valley community and visitors to the city. The plan will highlight the role of Engine No, 9 and the Mt, Tamalpais and Muir Woods Scenic Railway in the development of Mill Valley, the birth of the environmental movement in Marin County, and the saving of Muir Woods. Further discussions with the City of Mill Valley are expected in 2023. Friends of No. 9 also engaged California State Parks about placing the engine at the East Peak of Mt. Tamalpais by extending the existing Gravity Car Barn, the end point of the Scenic Railway. During a tour of the restoration work at the Millerick Brothers yard and East Peak, the Parks Staff expressed appreciation for the passion and historical diligence shown by Friends of No. 9.Friends of No. 9 participated in the Mill Valley Historical Society's annual Walk Into History event in May, 2022. The walk focused on a portion of the route of the Scenic Railway, from downtown Mill Valley to the start of the current Old Railroad Grade fire road. Friends of No. 9 set up a display with historical photographs, the bell that will be used in the ultimate display of No. 9 following restoration, and the replica steam whistle that Friends of No, 9 commissioned from Chris Rizzoli of Rizzoli Locomotive Works, LLC. Individual members of the Board of Directors of Friends of No. 9 answered questions from the community and also acted as docents, conducting tours of key historical sites along the railroad's path. | $11,025 |
