yes..keep positive...but like so many classic cars rotting to the ground because the owner "is going to fix it up someday"...until Mr Campbell is ready to sell...643 isn't going anywhere.

This scenario with the 643 reminds me of a certain fellow who owned a certain Pacific...

One can only hope it doesn't end that way.

Re-railing the thread onto the proper topic, I saw on Trains News Wire that the Age of Steam Roundhouse filed a petition for an extension of Canadian Pacific 1293's fifteen year boiler inspection. Is this because she is not as used as often as she once was, like back in Steamtown USA days?

I follow Age of Steam on Facebook and pretty much that is the case. Here is a link to the actual petition itself. https://www.federalregister.gov/documen ... compliance
