There's nothing in those photos that tell me that it is close to running. I don't see where much has been done since they pulled it out and blew the whistle - and that was in October! And didn't Borden Tunnel say that everything was pushed back until September?
I really hate being quoted about this, but the reality is that the pics gushed over were taken in late April, and little to nothing has been accomplished since. Probably waiting for another cash infusion, most likely taxpayer based.
If any of you still think that this project will get on the rails this summer, you may be disappointed.
1309 is not the only East Coast steam restoration that has seemingly "stalled", why has Reading & Northern gone silent on 2102?
