Hi Transcontinental Rails, I am very happy you mentioned 1361. I am so glad that the Strasburg Mechanical shops and the Railroad Memorial Museum are going to work together on 1361’s restoration, If they work together that will make the project faster and 1361 can return to steam sooner.
All great news-especially the 1361 update. And it came out today that the Reading 2100/American Freedom Train 250 may be test-fired in the next couple of months. I wonder if there'll be a second Steam in the Valley event later this year to mark AFT 250'S excursion debut, especially since last year's Steam in the Valley was cancelled
At the Midwest Electric Railway in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa earlier this week, an Italian trolley car arrived from GOMACO Trolley in Ida Grove, Iowa where it had some work done on it.
Awesome News All across the board, I'll definitely see if I can go to that train show because I do wish to get a hold of the society member so that way I can join. I feel like I can be a real big help to them 🙂 P.S should we be concerned about that flat car? (Being from a nuclear power plant and all?) 😄🚂
Have you heard about the California state belt railroad number 4 project? There restoring number 4 to its original condition in the old bay shore roundhouse just south of San Francisco
Recently I have been hearing rumors and have seen evidence of big news regarding Frisco 2-8-2 Steam Locomotive no. 1352. What has supposedly happened is that 1352's transfership to the Valley Railroad in Connecticut either fell through or they changed their mind with the locomotive. I was shown photographic evidence that 1352 now has Aberdeen Carolina and Western reporting marks, as it is supposedly planned to move there instead, and it's now in the air whether it not it will be a cosmetic or operational restoration. Please correct me if I am wrong in the comments, this was brought up on the official American Steam Locomotive Restoration Projects Facebook Page.
@@regularguy7266 I have seen photos of Frisco 1352 with ACWR reporting marks. I’m waiting for an official announcement from the Aberdeen Carolina & Western themselves regarding Frisco 1352.
1361: YYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
2026 & 27 are gonna be full of big steam restorations being completed!
Looking a lot more likely!

Can't wait to see them return to operation.

January 2025 has gotten better. Now there are more fresh news.
I might be interested in chasing 765 at the CVSR this year.
