No date or place, but probably last excursion in 1956:

I just touched her the other day, strange to think she might breathe before 1361. Will be wonderful to see a baby Lima on the road after all this "super power."

Joshua,

With her dimensions, I cannot call her a "baby." Although she is nowhere near the size of an Allegheny, she is a substantial piece of locomotion. I am very much looking forward to seeing her in steam again for a very personal reason.

Four years ago, I lost one of my best friends who was a fan of B&M steam. He was aware of her restoration, and was very enthusiastic about the project. When I delivered the eulogy at his funeral, I promised that when she hit the road, I would be at trackside to cheer for the both of us. It is a promise that I intend to keep for Will MacPherson and myse

What's the latest status of this project? While the locomotive getting worked on right next to her has been a lightning rod for attention, no one ever says boo about 3713. The L&WV website appears to be woefully out of date in addition throws 404 errors for any page linked off the main page. The only time I ever see any updates is at the Springfield train show, which I unfortunately missed this year. Not asking the infamous question of "when" here, just curious as to the status. Is this project continuing to move forward?
