I found this on railpictures.com
It states it was taken March 25, 1992. It be nice to see her steam up again someday.
I was at Port Clinton this past Sunday she looking sad.

Back in 1992 or 1993, Ross Rowland dolled up the C&O 614 at the B&O Museum with a temporary semi-streamlining and steamed it up to publicize his "21st Century Limited" project. I got some photos that day, but now I need to date them. Ross himself doeasn't remember the exact date -- does anyone else? Herb Harwood |

According to the photo on Steamlocomotive.info, the steam up was November, 1992. That would probably make sense as someone you know, who was there at the B&O Museum, would soon be leaving for fun and adventure in scenic western Maryland. Rob Uncleville, PA |

#614 looks pretty good with a centered headlight. |

As for our mutual friend, I talk to him occasionally but rarely see him. He continues to have too much fun, I guess. Herb H. |

The photos of the temporary streamlining we have at the Md. Rail Heritage Library, including night shots by Jim Boyd and myself, are dated Nov. 12, 1992--confirmed by a check with back issues of Railfan & Railroad. The picture at RailPictures.com appears, to my eye and hazy memory, to be a different fire-up for the Museum's steam days of 1992 or 1993, as it has a different paint job on the tender. I remember the November night shoot being rainy, and the temporary decals/banners subbing for paint having lots of trouble staying up in the rain....... |
