Flagg Coal 75 - 1472, Time Gone?
Author: bigjim4life

I believe I remember reading somewhere that the Gramling's 0-4-0 Flagg Coal #75's service time is up and is now due for her 1472-day inspection - is that right?  I know they have 0-6-0 Lehigh Valley Coal Co. #126 in service and they're getting close to finishing "Mack" (0-4-0 Jeddo Coal #85?) in their new shop building - are they putting off the 1472 on #75 until Mack is done, or taking it out of service for a few years?

Or am I mis-informed on the subject?  Any info is greatly appreciated.

You're not misinformed. 75 ran its last run a few weeks ago before going in for inspection. I'm not sure what the exact plans are but I think they've been making good progress on the new one.

It looks like they plan on doing 85, then 75. They may have a 4th engine. Barney seems to be getting better and quicker with these engines as he learns about how they run.
