Please explain further. There is only one Santa Fe Northern "being restored", so what is the "other" one. The Santa Fe #3751 4-8-4 was restored many years ago, and is currently out of service undergoing the FRA mandated 15 year inspection and re-certification.
Its not Big Boy big but it still a big locomotive. I have an MTH Railking sf northern number 2929. The one being restored is 2926.
Anyway watch and enjoy.
You have 2 northerns right.I looking at the fact that another locomotive is being being rebuilt to running order.The other one is a northern also right.It might be down now.But its still way better off than sitting in a park some where.And before you say anything about the down time.Just know at some time their will be 2 big steamers from the santa fe in operation.And as my grand dad used to say."Just hush up and watch and enjoy it!!"P.S.There are a lot of people who thought you would never see 2 santa fe big northerns active.But we are getting there o.k.
