I know this will probably stir up a storm, but the CRHS has put together a DVD with footage of the 1361 when it was steamed up for its shakedown run back in 1987.

https://www.shoppe.thecrhs.org/catalog/ ... wn-Run-DVD

It's incredibly sad where the story goes from there, but there are 65 minutes or so of it in all its glory.

I figured some of the crew here might be interested.

Thank you for posting this. While an irritant to some, the K4s has a special place in American steam locomotive history, and it appears, she may get yet another chance to steam. Appears, is the pivotal word. Her "cause" should not be forgotten, and reminding interested parties of what she was meant to do, is a point in her corner, in my opinion.
