Lake Superior & Ishpeming RR 2-8-0 No. 23

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:47
The museum stated in a magazine article they are working to get this engine mechanically operational. So, you may change the status to Restoration. I heard this engine actually ran at this place long ago up until 1965 I believe.

Otto Chemical Co. 0-4-0T No. 370

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:33
This locomotive is not under restoration. At least not mechanical. It is the 2-8-0 that is being restored mechanically. This engine might be under cosmetic restoration, however.

Oklahoma Portland Cement Co. Shay - 2 truck No. 8

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Oct 1, 2024 @ 10:10:32
Am told it will never operate again, as it has a severe crack in the cylinder castings, and cannot pass FRA inspection. Too expensive for the museum to fix as well.

Posted by: Jonathan Holden on Sep 24, 2024 @ 12:09:56
12 actually isn’t being restored: she’s now a permanent display. A volunteer confirmed she’s much too old and that returning her to steam would make her an entirely new locomotive.

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Sep 23, 2024 @ 14:09:50
This engine can not be restored to run here in the US due to it not having been built to International Boiler Code. It operated illegally whilst on Rail Tours.

New York, Chicago & St. Louis RR 4-6-0 No. 44

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Sep 23, 2024 @ 14:09:39
Was at RailFest this year, and saw a friend whom is employed by the park. He claims to have Ultrasounded all engines where their boilers and fireboxes are exposed, and in his mind, all engines which he has tested thus far can be made to run, other than the Nickel Plate 44. It has damage to the boiler barrel on the top right where it connects to the smokebox. This, however, was due to an incident during its service days, and not from sitting in the elements all these years.
