| Post subject: | And the 6900 |
Looks like they moved the Centennial 6900 by rail, with the 6936 ahead. Is it going to a different display location? http://members.trainorders.com/professi ... CF1051.JPG More photos here: http://members.trainorders.com/professional-railfan/ |

| Post subject: | Slight delay |
Move over the BNSF tracks was supposed to take an hour, ended up taking 7.5 hours according to sources. Like the slogan on the boxcar says: SHIP BY RAIL! |

Thought 6900 was going to the same place as 4023? Looks freshly painted! Looks like a an OOPS here- http://members.trainorders.com/professi ... CF1062.JPG Joshua |

Sounds like they had an truck trailer axle fail, while the 4023 was being moved. |

Holy cow, They don't call 'em Big Boy for 'nothin. So, how does one fix such a problem...let alone in seven hours? Looks like a good way to get steam locomotives back into the public conscious---just parade one down their friendly neighborhood street! -Kelly Lynch "nathansixchime" |
