I was was there in the summer 2014 and it was exciting to hear and see the progress of that locomotive in the beginning, I hope to come back when she comes back to steam.
Hello All. That's a nice "little" locomotive. Union Pacific Still has the 2 Largest Locomotives in the world. #3985 Challenger, and soon, Big Boy #4014 will be running again! All the "Other" railroads steam locomotives seem really small compared to these 3 pieces of American History. #844 is finished and proudly displayed as #1 attraction everywhere it goes. The Living Legend Returns. Thank You All for Everything, Union Pacific RailRoad. Champions of Historic Steam Locomotives Preservation n. Truly, BullyBilly 80631
hmm hah you call that a locomotive shop, there is not enough dirt, I helped out with the fort wayne historical railroad, we are doing work on redoing the superheater tubes, and man we just put the new cement floor in in febuary and it looks like it has been there for years, even with our best efforts to keep it clean, it is filthy and you cant sit down anywhere without getting coal dust metal and grease on you, though 765 has been running the rails for 14 years so running and keeping that boiler going has built up a lot of sediment and lime on the heat shield which I had to help take off with a chisel its hard work and lots of hammering at odd angles to spread the arms of the shield and pound it off of the pipes so we can clean and test, lots of needle scaleing and sanding off with a flap wheel to polish the rust off for ultrasonic testing and water testing, theres not enough dirt to show that the shop is working hard. then again this dont look like you have locomotive shop where they do machining and welding right there though, and you dont have rough concrete floors yours are smooth.
Update on the CNW 1385 restoration. Grand work as always!
I love it how excited everybody is about 1385 when 2 just fired up her boiler July 18th. And she is really close to running.

#1385 was a cool looking steam train, but I was thinking that #1385 used to be a really Useful steam train for Years.
