Her condition will definately improve with her arrival at the museum. However, I hope thay stick to cosmetic work for the present. The Mid Continent Museum has three or four torn down locos in their Shop at present. It is no wonder that visitors perceive railroad museums as junk yarks. Ted Miles ted_miles@nps.gov |

Even a cosmetic restoration will be difficult, but most definitely doable! TJ > Ted Miles Port Huron Museum tjgaffney@phmuseum.org |

Update- C&NW #175 WILL be moving some time in the future. While CR #29 was being prepared for her move, Clint Jones had the crew from Mid West Locomotive and Machine Works prep #175 to move also. Photo below is of work being done on #175. Thanks to RyPN reader Handsome Devil/John for the photo. Boyd  bowens@rypn.org |

Cliff, I have some photos from Handsome Devil/ John that were taken when the crew was up there of these locos also. I'll get them scanned and posted here soon... They're in pretty sorry shape. Boyd bowens@rypn.org |

All I've heard are *rumors* that Mid West Locomotive and Machine Works *might* get the job of rebuilding her. Nothing official. Boyd bowens@rypn.org |

Until I get the other photos scanned, here's one from two years ago. They've only gotten worse, unfortunately. Boyd  bowens@rypn.org |
