I have it upon good authority that steam has once again run thru Gowanda NY Does anyone have any pics? I think it was some old Baldwin from Dunkirk that got a bunch of trucks covered with gunk last Sept. Heard it looks much nicer now. dr |

You are right. Number 6 was there this weekend for a shake down run. It ran about 25 miles and did great. I have pictures which I will try to get posted. Scott did a great job on it!!! John |

Who forgot to mention this?!?!?!?!? My camera sat on the table all weekend when it could have documenting history!!!! I am so glad to hear steam is back in New York, but I want to see it!!!! (and ride behind it) PLEASE keep us posted on any future movements. And again, if the owner is looking for any help, I am willing to learn whatever it takes. Steam starved in New York, Matt |

Im not really familar with the area, I rode the train years and years ago when I was pretty young so I remember the staion but thats it. What way will they be going? North over the bridge or south (I believe the train I rode went south)? how far will they go? Any chasing tips? Is there any way we can make a donation? very very good news! thanks, Matt |
