Re: Status/Condition of all ex-PRR steamers?

A few specific questions- Are the E6, L1, K4, and M1, repainted yet or out of the weather? No. A fund drive for the E6 is underway but has a long way to go. More covered space is needed sorely at RRMPA, even the pair of DD-1s are outside! I still maintain lending an engine to Steamtown and being ins...

Apart from a temporary loan (ie the DL&W switcher from D-L) Steamtown won't take or accept a diesel. However, D-L did just get a DL&W boxcar.

Actually Milford is about 8 miles from the Junction. Yes, one G has been spoken for, and the other one might be soon too.

PRR and RDG paralleled each other south side of the river between Reading and Birdsboro. However, between Gibraltar and B'boro, the PRR right of way has track on it, used to access a quarry originally served by the PRR. Much of the PRR in the area is or is being converted into a trail, the Thun ( pr...

Ex US Army, ex Virginia Blue Ridge. At some point, either while serving on the ex NYC line out of Oneonta or on the Cooperstown Branch she was converted to oil firing. Last steamed in the mid-1970s. She may and I stress MAY be moving sometime soon with other equipment there.

It is being reported on a NYS&W group that former NYO&W NW-2 #116, rumored to be heading to this museum, will instead be going to the Delaware Ulster Rail Ride. She is currently in storage in Binghamton, NY awaiting transportation to the DURR. DURR is an isolated railroad and she will either...

Unless different practices are in place now I have heard of pushers in the following areas in the past year: Before or after Taylor,PA Northbound Sometimes they will stay right on through or pushers will be added to trains in Binghamton to get out of Binghamton north to Albany over Belden Hill.

Could you share your photos Scot? I remember seeing it as a little kid from the highway. It probably got scrapped instead of saved for a use somewhere else, a dang shame and incredibly ironic because CPR built a brand new one soon after!
