http://community.webshots.com/album/393603172pLoYXMEx SOU, languishing in New Jersey. That and the following information from railroad.net-"Former MCCRR 2-8-0 No. 385 is indeed stored in the Supor Industrial Park in Harrison, NJ. I stopped by to look at the old gal a few weeks ago. It was the first time I had laid eyes on her since leaving the MCC in 1981 to get marrried. She currently is sitting oustdoors on a panel of track behind some other equipment. Considering that she has been sitting out in the elements all these years she is not in bad shape but mechanically she needs a lot of work. Joe Supor told several people he has no immediate plans for the engine."Joshua

So what will it take to get the 385 down to Spencer, NC for the restoration, care and love she deserves?

If the weather holds out tomorrow I'll be trying to get a few more pics for you guys. Venture onto the engineer's side if Supor seems quiet when I take lunch. She is not exactly on a panel of track. There is a customer a little further up on the same sidding that gets tank cars regularly. Probably need to clear a little brush and move some debris though. Oh, and I wouldn't go down to see her on a weekday, my boss, who owns the firelane that I took the shots from really hates people walking around the building.
