OK, who is the wise guy that posed Lake Superior Railroad Museum's NP prairie with a smoking stack?

Each year as part of the Lake Superior RR Museum's Railfan Weekend, several pieces of equipment are pulled outside to allow visitors to photograph artifacts normally kept indoors or stored. Jeff "Smoke Bomb" Terry provided the material to get a small amount of smoke to shoot out from 2435's stack a couple of years ago. The museum wants to cosmetically restore 2435 and is looking for donations to same. |

As a rare survivor of the "granger road" (NP, CB&Q, Soo, GN, CGW, Wabash, etc.) 2-6-2's, it would seem to me that 2435 might be a good candidate for operation. I wonder if anyone at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum ever looked at her mechanical condition? Or is the museum committed to restoring Soo Line #2719? Les |

Getting a hose and squirting the dust off the jackets would have made for a much nicer photo. |

Ohhhh...would you really want to do that if lagging is still in place? Steve |

We DID scrub down the locomotive. You should have seen the "before" photo. That's as clean as we could get it! |

Fair enough. Thanks for sharing. |

Just gives her that authentic end-of-steam patina :) At the first Steamfest in Sugarcreek, in...'97, was it?...2100 had been stashed at Morgan Run, but wasn't operational. When they lined the engines up for photos, one of the live ones--I think 1551--happened to be beside her. When I stood off to the side to get a picture, the smaller engine was completely hidden and the alignment was perfect to show smoke coming out of 2100's stack. I still have that picture somewhere (on actual film) and it would drive someone nuts in the future if they didn't know the story. |

Back in the 1960's, a film crew was doing a location shot at the Santa Fe Pasadena (CA) station. ATSF 1010 (also a 2-6-2) was "leading" the train, with either a smoke bomb or dry ice vapor to make it look "alive", while a diesel (carefully avoided by the camera operators) actually moved the train. At that time 1010 was kept at the Santa Fe Redondo Jct. roundhouse; it's now at the Calif. State RR Museum in Sacramento. |

Les I was under the impression that Soo #2719 was out of service and due for a rebuild. I just saw some photos of the Pacific running out of Duluth earlier this month, so apparently I goofed. Sorry!
