How often do we see a steam engine doing actual freight work these days? Here's a link to some pictures Earl Knoob posted on the NGDF of SLRG #18 doing some. Something we don't see very often. http://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,168994 Bill |

I think nkp 765 did do some freight drags somewhere in testing or some reason, just a nick of the memory banks I seem to recall. |

THe Iowa INterstate RR with Henry Posner Chinese 2-10-2 QJs 6988 and 7081 have operated regular revenue freight trains and In October 2008 we pulled the heavyest steam power freight in this century about 6200 tons from Iowa City to Rock Island |
