John White formerly with the Smothsonian believed the locomotive could have been as much as 80% origional. J. David expressed to me that the tender trucks were replaced and it was obvious that the pilot wheels were also replaced. I was glad to hear that she was in better shape than expected when she left UTEP. Hopefully the citizens of the southwest will reconize the value of this artifact/locomotive. It amazes me that it is still with us today. EPSW271@aol.com |
