Dad took this pic of my big-bro and I.

On edit: "A technician charged with determining the cause of frequent poppet valve failures on the T1s claimed to have observed them being operated at speeds of up to 140 mph (225 km/h) to make up time." Wikipedia.

Moscow, Camden & St. Augustine #6 at the Texas Transportation Museum with two Heavyweights (Santa Fe Business Obs #404 and Pullman 12-1 "McKeever") in tow. Probably may never steam again. Photo taken by me in October of 2018.

Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) Mk-5 #794 at Sunset Station. Photo also by me, taken September of 2018. Has a possible chance of steam. Little did I know at the time I took the photo the King (4014) would grace his presence on those tracks on the side nearly a year later

P.S. Does anyone know if there any updates on the current status of the 786's restoration?

No information on the little engine.

 

used to go thru Gallipolis all the time when my parents were in Kentucky. Where is this locomotive at?

Over towards the east end of town where you leave RT 7 as your going towards the bridges to crossover to Point Pleasant WV. 

I believe its the old B&O mainline and this engine and a passenger car on a trailer are located at the old depot.
