Good News the New York Central's back in steam 3001 is getting restored and NKP 765 is crossing the central.

[@JamieMakin]

That's great news!

I remember seeing this railroad in the Pennsylvania Shortlines video that was from 1987. I’m surprised that it’s still operating today.

[@JamieMakin]

The Lokie is holding up well, and they're starting the work to restore the second Lokie.

Ok, a bit jealous here! Thank you for sharing this video!!!!

[@JamieMakin]

Next time they have openings (probably next Spring) we'll have to get you signed up!

[@scottdk765]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@BeeLineEast]

That's cool you were able to operate a steam locomotive.

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks, it was a dream come true!

Hey Jamie. What a wonderful experience friend. I'm glad you got to do it twice. I forgot all about you helping to paint the locomotive. Pretty cool. I hope you're doing well and having a fantastic day. 11:55

Thanks Dennis! Operating a steam locomotive is an awesome experience in its own right, but operating one you had a hand in painting is even more special than I can begin to describe.

I rode one there, it was called the Henry Clay. You have to ask my sister she did the geology and found Henry Clay. A cousin.

[@JamieMakin]

This one used to be the #1 Henry Clay. Late last winter a few other guys and gals and myself repainted it to its original L.V.C. CO. livery.
