UP is trying to kick him out of the Brooklyn Roundhouse because they want to develop that end of their yard into an intermodal facility.

Thought the roundhouse belonged to city of portland and was a historical site ???

I think I read that on the Trains News Wire. Here's a link that seems to show #190 just nosing up to the turntable. Zoom in and switch to aerial image & uncheck streets.

Nope...just whats inside is ( other then Doyle's stuff )..

Its not just Doyle trying to get kicked out..its everything there..SP 4449, SP&S 700 and all the other goodies..

well then if they kick doyle out, then why don't they build him and the owners of the other locomotives stored there?

[BR&P]

Better edit that 4449, it makes no sense as it is written.

[daylight4449]

other than 4449 and 700, what else is there?

I made a visit to the Brooklyn Roundhouse in March 2009. #190 looked like the restoration effort was progressing.

I think Doyle is tied up with other projects, and gets to work on 190 "when he gets to it."

Isn't Doyle working on the other former D&H PA and restoring it back into it's original ATSF warbonnet paint?

[DutchRailnut]

the second PA will be cosmeticly restored after NKP190 (for Smithsonian Museum).
