Great video! It’s very nice to see the smallest Pacific return. Y’know, next year will be her 110th birthday. Do you think the Little River Railroad will do anything special for that?
Well she is fresh from her 1472 day so I imagine it wasn't considered necessary to have on at the time since they wanted to have her operate on the Christmas Express excursions during both weekends. I'm sure it will be back on come springtime.
I speak from experience, removing and installing boiler jacketing on a steam loco is a massive pain in the butt. Don’t want to install it unless you’re sure all the bugs have been worked out from a fresh rebuild.
Nice work
Thank you Jon!

So 110 was out of service for only 2 years?
I heard 5 years first but others seem to say it was only 2. I’m not entirely sure to be honest I just know its been a few years.
@@Tidewater312 Ok thx
Why is 110 missing her boiler jacketing
