Last I heard was that as well, nothing further but the washout last I heard:
They've dumped stone, but need to tamp and surface the line. Work still needs to be done on the stone arch culvert, but will not impact the track. I am sure they've made progress since the last report i knew of. I will be up their tommorow, so i will see how things are when i stop in

Bernie-

So 1921 wasn't a real B&M engine? Oh well, still looks nice...

Look for the 1921 to be moving in transit by NEGS/Hobo RR in the next few days from what I am told, either last night or today it may happen

Built as NP 336 in 8/57. Became BN 1921, retired and sold to Chrome Locomotive in 9/83, resold to MBTA in 11/83. According to that site...

THANKS FOR THE UP DATE--- THAT IS VERY GOOD NEWS TO HEAR!!

Just got word that 1921 was heading North, most likely at the Lochmere siding right now waiting for Winnipesaukee Railroad to pick up!

Report from trusted people (hehe)

The ex MBTA 1921 was moved today (Friday) first by New England Southern Railroad based out of Concord, not sure exactly, but i think some cars were delivered to Quinn T in Tilton on the way. The 1921 was delievered to the Plymouth and Lincoln/NEGS interchange. The Winnipesaukee Railroad will be picking it up after opperations end for the day with a ALCO and moving it to Merdeth, NH where it wil be for a bit until the Hobo can arrage for it to be picked up and brought to Lincoln

My information is first hand, if you don't want it ,I won't post it !...The engine is in Meridith today..probaly go north at end of days operations
