Mojave Northern RR 0-6-0ST No. 2

Posted by: on Jan 2, 2020 @ 16:01:11
Locomotive is currently in a siding at the museum behind a string of cars. The locomotive itself is behind a caboose. It is pretty bad condition, but I doubt the museum has any plans for it. The engine also still looks relatively the same as in the main photo.

IR (DHR) 0-4-0ST No. B787 (32)

Posted by: Stephen Frost on Jan 2, 2020 @ 12:01:54
Dale W Fickés writes the following: In 2002, No. 787 was rebuilt for oil firing. A diesel-powered generator was fitted to operate the oil burner and an electrically-driven feed pump, and a diesel-powered compressor was fitted to power the braking system. The locomotive was also fitted with a feedwater heater. The rebuild dramatically changed its appearance. Trials of the refitted locomotive were disappointing, and it never entered regular service; in early 2011, it was in the Tindharia Works awaiting re-conversion to coal-firing. In early 2019, B787 was restored cosmetically (presumably as a coal burner) and is now displayed on a plinth outside Siliguri Junction station.

FCGM 4-8-0 No. 607

Posted by: ILFORD on Dec 29, 2019 @ 17:12:22

Pennsylvania RR 4-6-2 No. 3750

Posted by: Jeremiah Weil on Dec 28, 2019 @ 10:12:58
According to my research, it was the other way around. Pennsylvania #1737 was the first K4 and was originally slated to be preserved. But tragically, she was deemed too far gone to be preserved so Pennsylvania #3750 was temporarily numbered #1737 and was therefore preserved.
