Yah, yah, yah... where's my Rutland F-12? Huh? Yes, the Reading and CPR steam fans are totally SPOILED in the post-steam era. But seriously folks, all three T-1's in the US are safe and sound. I don't know much about #2100's status. If I could do anything to any engine at the B&O Museum, I would take a million bucks and build a shrine for 2-8-2 #4500, the first USRA-design loco built. She is a treasure. I have a lot of faith in the Balitmore team. They have a huge collection and they continue to do womderful restorations as time and money allow. Kudos!

Not to mention good professional management, a plan and a great working relationship with CSX. Many of us could learn from their example. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |
