From their own company website: Looks like both their engines are down for FRA repairs. They have a volunteer support group there also. http://www.anarr.com/steamlocomotive.html ryarger@rypn.org |

Bob, in researching the active steam list for john craft's steamcentral web site, i learned that 14 was retired after the 1988 season; 18 is due out in May. A lot of active steam is active only in our memories, alas. Jim Wrinnbo@aol.com |

Reading a bit further, I note the information is only for No. 18, the "Cuban" 2-8-0. Has anyone ever seen photos of pre-preservation A&A steam (not the ex-Michigan engines of today), before they dieselized? I've never seen any. > Bob, in researching the active steam list > for john craft's steamcentral web site, i > learned that 14 was retired after the 1988 > season; 18 is due out in May.

Check out "Arcade and Attica" by Edward A. Lewis, published in 1972 by The Elma Press/The Baggage Car. It is the best history of the line to date, including scores of photographs of the pre-1957 A&A steamers. Does anyone know who is doing the CFR 49 Part 230 work on A&A No. 18? I had heard an outside steam mechanic was brought in to assist the A&A staff. K.R. Bell > Reading a bit further, I note the > information is only for No. 18, the > "Cuban" 2-8-0.

Kurt, There was some decent discussion of recent happenings (as of late 2002) on the A&A on one of the Railroad.net discussion groups. Lots of interesting updates and discussions, but no specific mention of who is doing the steam engine work. Until later, Chris A&A discussion on Railroad.net crhauf@frontiernet.net |
