Paced 1003 Rondout to Deerfield Friday night and Ingleside to Fox Lake Sunday morning and again about 7 miles north of Fox Lake, where he took siding. Alas, the festivities were too much for the old gal (109 years old, built in 1913) and a gasket in the feedwater pump blew. Fortunately the crew had a replacement in the tool car, so I assume she was off and running ( I had to leave, so not confirmed). Beautifully groomed locomotive !!
