Yeah, some one sent me a Face Book post, it was about a 17hr trip, from St.Louis to Roenoke. I just figured they must have divided, the miles, by mph, and came up with that one.
The gentleman that we talked with at the Kenova Yard Office talked like sometime late tomorrow, if they don't have anymore unscheduled stops.
I have been around old equipment from oil fields, that has set many years, and then getting it back into some sort of running condition. I could imagine how it would be with a steam locomotive, setting in one spot, for many, many years then expecting it to go without a hitch of some sorts.
Be a horse of a different color, if all the moving parts had been rotated, and kept in good lubricated condition. You know kinda like they reported was done on the 4014!
So it get's through here, when it get's through here!........................
