This little consolidation displayed under a roof is looking pretty good in this recent photo.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

With a family heritage of N&W (my grandfather-engineer) I'm happy to see this. I think #11 is wearing more yellow and white now than ever before?......

I visited the steamers on display there in the 1980s. They were outside then, and didn't look as good. The story I was told was that the branch coming into town was cut when a salt mine collapsed, stranding all the rail equipment. I remember seeing freight cars being scrapped nearby.
