I understand that there is a group in Pueblo, CO trying to restore a SF 2900 class. Does anyone know how they are doing with this project? <br><br> |

You can contact the group in Pueblo that is working on this engine at their website of WWW.PUEBLORAIL.com. I was in Pueblo about 3 years ago and it would be a beauty if they can muster the formidable resources to get the job done!<br> Wichitarails@msn.com |

The Pueblo Locomotive & Railway Historical Society {of which I'm also an associate member} has been beneficiary of a number of local/state grants. A capitalization plan is being executed, and major cleanup/inspection and restoration of locomotive fixtures & components is underway. I believe the timetable for operational restoration is approximately 5 years. Please visit the Trinity Valley RR website! tvrha@star-telegram.com |

Here's a picture of the 2912 taken at Pueblo<br>last year. The engine and the rest of the museum<br>collection sits just west of Pueblo Union Station<br>on what used to be station trackage. It will<br>be a sight to see if they get it restored.<br>By the way, an affiliated organization in <br>Albuquerque is planning to move and restore<br>sister engine 2926.<br><br>  fp45@uclink4.berkeley.edu |
