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

Posted by: ESRM on Mar 27, 2025 @ 09:03:33
23 is slowly (but surely) moving along with its cosmetic restoration. All work is being done as to not make a potential future restoration to operating condition more difficult should a feasible future opportunity arise. An entirely new boiler jacket is being made for the locomotive. It will be painted back into its LS&I accurate Nile green when completed. The tender will also be lettered LS&I for the first time in over 50 years. All involved would obviously love to see the locomotive steaming, however we are pleased that it is stored under cover with a dedicated group to care for it.
