#9 does indeed survive, if you can call it that. It's for sale, too, as far as I know. It was sister engine #7 that was unceremoniously scrapped in the 1970s. I recall that someone told me that #7's boiler was much better than #9's. |

Aside from being in pieces, how's the condition of #9? Anybody know? Why was the rehab aborted?Happy Thanksgiving,Gerald W. Kopiasz |
