I stopped by yesterday. Too bad I can't post a photo directly. There IS work being done on her, and the big plywood panels sporadically erected over the running gear does seem to be moved on occasion. The open area containing the cabooses and loco is posted as open to the public 10-4 weekdays and 10-5 Saturdays, 1-5 Sundays. The whole compound is fenced. Personally, the loco's fresh paint makes it look the best I have seen it in ages, and it's reasonably complete--one has to look twice to find one missing link. And, I might note, there's enough track in front of and behind the loco to operate it further than, say, the Franklin Institute's 4-10-2 in Philadelphia, should they ever succeed in steaming it. lner4472@bcpl.net |

Sorry, there is no work being currently done on 202. The "extra" track was intended for the locomotive to be "winched" out on occasion. That never materialized either. Right now, 202 remains in a state of limbo. |

Don't get me wrong,I would love to see her steaming..... But I'm glad she is under cover and COULD be running some day. Many "Park" engines are not so lucky. Alan Levy alanl759@aol.com |
