Nice video! Reminds me of a story Mr. Purdie told me years ago. They had made a run to Gainesville and on the trip up several tubes had started leaking badly in the firebox. I think the train ended up returning with diesel power...But while coming up with a plan for getting the engine back, a former Gainesville Midland shop guy came by and offered the used of the boiler tools a had stored in his garage. They went by his house and found the required rollers and made the repairs while the engine was still very much hot. The engine caught up with it's train only 3 or 4 hours later. |
