Just curious how the Milwaukee FP7 at Cresco, Iowa is doing? Do they still start it occasionally, or has the enthusiasm died out? This was quite a story in the 1980s, of them acquiring the dead unit, and coasting and pulling it down the abandoned trackage into town before the rails were removed. An ex-Navy mechanic eventually got the prime mover running again, though I don't know if it ever actually moved under its own power.http://www.crescoia.com/train.html
