There is some storage facility out past Marbledale, their 4-4-0 #60 is stored out there. I volunteered on the Saturday run on the 12th, and the crew told me that "Resilient" came from the Reading and Northern, and that they would be going up to get another open air car (with a roof) from the R&N and will try to have it ready for the spring when 154 will take over all duties.
SmokyMtnSteam they did that so they could just take the engine right to the shed by Ruth Chris, while the last train of the day would head back to the station.
that was the last run of the evening.. they took her past the bridge and uncoupled her.. they store her somewhere in a shop but not quite sure where... she backed over the crossing and disappeared..
+Jarrett Prince That's interesting. The only places I knew they stored the steamers is up at Coster and the shed near Ruth's Chris, but I haven't been keeping up with the rambler for a few years.

over 90 years old and still strong.
Wonder if 203 will remain an oil burner or be converted to coal when completed
Great video, I wish I could've made it out to chase her some this month.
Why was she running light all the way out at Asbury?
