Railfan Brody posted:First of all, as of now, CN 6218 has no mainline plans. But what if a group could change that? Is it even possible? I don't know much about the locomotive, so if anyone knows, let me know if 6218 could be a good candidate for restoration. From looking at the locomotive, I can tell it needs new paint, a roller bearing tender, probably a 26L air column, cab signaling, maybe an MU controller, and a very dedicated crew!
Let me know if this can work or if it's a dead dream!
It'll take a little more than that. Don't forget money, lots of it.
Outside of the 6218 being brought up to current Canadian boiler codes, it'll have to brought up to current US boiler codes if run in the US.
Plus, you don't know what you don't know about the boiler until you start taking it apart.
