I’m very excited for this locomotive restoration! I’m very proud to be a donor and I also take some of my TH-cam ad revenue and donate it to this locomotive!
@pennsylvaniarailroad1223 There was actually more work at Steamtown than you think. Much of tender work was done there. As well as making a new smokebox and backhead of the boiler. They are still be able to be used. One of the mistakes I learned about was using structural rivets rather than boiler rivets, but they are in the process of being addressed.
@@pennsylvaniarailroad1223 First of all, it was actually $1 million dollars from the state. Again, some stuff was done incorrectly. The previous management is not involved anymore. The new management is doing the restoration alot better and has a qualified contractor to do the work. Let’s move on from that and get excited about this locomotive.

Their firebox vs fmw was totally flawed. Fmw was way better constructed

@@chooch1764 but they go 2.5 mil from the state that's just enough to complete any steam restoration project

I disagree and that we can bring back big steel mills and deep coal mines
