Locomotive rebuild is progressing well with most of the boiler being replaced with new material due to extensive internal pitting. This includes a new firebox, boiler barrel, dome, and smokebox. For photos of this ongoing work go to: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,2083532

Update. Sadly, Neil Pollard sold the Chicken Kitchen and Pollardville (see url below). I drove by in June 2008 and the engine is gone. Anyone know where it went? I lived in a near by neighborhood and played on that engine (I think it was that one) in the mid 60's. Pollardville's Ghost Town was my playground. Ah....the good old days! http://lodinews.com/articles/2006/07/07/news/1_pollardville_060707.txt

Status Update: As of 7/1/07 the locomotive has been prepared for boiler work to begin. This has included the removal of the cab, bunker, saddle tank, and stack. Exterior boiler inspection revealed the boiler is generally in good condition with no major complications visible at this time. Interior boiler inspection will begin by the end of this month. If you have any additional information regarding this locomotive please contact Stathi Pappas at soupac@aol.com.

Pollardville Amusement Center is now shut down after 50 years. April 1, 2007 was it's last day. The replica 1880's train that was here is being sent to Vino Piazza in Lockeford, Calif.

This locomotive was just purchased from Neil Pollard by Efstathios I. Pappas (myself). Although it is currently stored at Pollardville, this will soon change. I have aquired this locomotive in order to conduct a long term research and restoration project regarding locomotive technology and labor processes as part of my research focus in industrial archaeology. If anyone has any additional information regarding this locomotive, please contact me at: soupac@aol.com. Thank you. Stathi Pappas

There's a neat 30" gauge train ride here as well; not steam; a steam profile built from an old mine tram engine.
