Wow!!! As a resident of NE Pennsylvania, I look forward to seeing the restored engine on a run in the neighborhood. Would it be heresy to hope it’s redone to it’s D&H paint scheme???

Yes.

Doyle McCormick (who was formerly a Nickel Plate Engineer and comes from a Nickel Plate family) put his money and his sweat into restoring the PA and he decided to paint it to memorialize that fine railroad of years past. We are thankful to him, because, due to his knowledge and hard work, there is an Alco PA unit that will run on a main line railroad again before long.

I'm in my 77th year, and the last time I saw an active PA was in 1968. I was 22 then, and I never thought I would see another one run during my lifetime. Nickel Plate will be just fine.
