Canadian Pacific RR 4-6-4 No. 2839Posted by: Bad Randy on May 30, 2020 @ 01:05:25
PK may be right, but my understanding was that Andy Muller borrowed, probably rented, 2839 because 425 was not done being rebuilt in time for the opening of his Blue Mountain & Reading railroad. As far as I know, he never owned it, but was negotiating with an investment group but they could not come to terms.
Reading RR 4-8-4 No. 2101Posted by: Bad Randy on May 30, 2020 @ 01:05:48
Please help us lovers of steam that do not know enough about it to understand how an engine made of metal that must be periodically replaced from wear and tear can be so damaged by a fire to be beyond repair? I ask it that way because my understanding is even engines that have sat outside in the weather and have had serious vandalism and weather damage done are still able to be restored. Thank you

MEDIA RELEASE: Francene and Diamond Don Rainey are very pleased to announce that Kirby Family Farms, Inc., a 501(c)3, is now the proud owner of the Robert E. Lee Steam Train. The train was moved from Six Guns Territory in Ocala Florida to Jefferson, in 1984 and has now found its way back to Florida. Kirby Family Farm is an entertaining, educating destination providing fun for all ages. Daryl and Tracy Kirby have the energy and resources to put the steam train back on the track. They already have several trains, so this steam train will be a good addition to their Family Farm attraction. Don and Francene bought the train in 2002. After 17 years, the couple is ready to head into semi-retirement and wanted to find a home for the train where families could enjoy the ride. Daryl Kirby has wanted to own this train since he was ten years old. He and wife, Tracy, first started talking to the Rainey’s in 2014. It is a perfect match for this 1962 Crown Metal Products 4-4-0 Steam Train.
