How the mighty have fallen.
T1 on the scrap line in Blawnox, Pa c. 1954:
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?

Paul, I was in that GG1 years and years ago. It was a mess then inside and out. We were filming a "Across America" show there at a musical instrument factory. Is the factory still in Elkhart? Great little town. Don

Sorta what I thought.
This region had a lot of plants and some that did make products to do with the manufacture of explosive type materials before and during WW II.

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.
