Scott, Would you please help squelch a rumor I've been hearing...is it true the feds have a mechanic's lien on 1361? It seems absurd because you are fixing the engine with state money with your own staff and my understanding is that Steamtown staff have been assisting the project on a consulting basis. I'm sick of hearing the rumors and hope you can set the record straight. Sam > Pictures coming soon. I just shot video of > her on my trip to check in with our crew in > Scranton last week. |

If they have a mechanics lien on the loco, I am unaware of it and neither is Kip Hagen, the park superintendent at Steamtown. We just met 2 weks ago and briefly discussed the project and he made no mention of it to me. The restoration is continuing with a Transporation Enhancement grant which is Federal money administered through Penndot. Sole source justification was submitted and approved for Bill frederickson and Barry Claar to sontinue as the supervisors on the project as well as the 3 full-time employees the Museum has assigned to the project. More about the homecoming plans at a press conference at the end of February Scott Cessna > Scott, > Would you please help squelch a rumor I've > been hearing...is it true the feds have a > mechanic's lien on 1361?

Keep up the good work, Scott. Jeff, 1361 will be back in steam when she is ready--it's hard putting timetables on return dates to service. She'll be ready when it is time. Good things are well worth waiting for. > If they have a mechanics lien on the loco, I > am unaware of it and neither is Kip Hagen, > the park superintendent at Steamtown.

To finally answer Pat's question. Click on the link below, which takes you to the Horseshoe Curve Chapter, NRHS page. It was updated on Jan 19. Nothing extremely new to report until Scott Cessna gets back on line. It still has a long way to go, even with all the recent (post jan 1) progress. http://www.trainweb.org/horseshoecurve-nrhs/k4.htm mustang746@earthlink.net |
