Steam & Excursion > L&N 152 (4-6-2) in October 1986 Part 2

Here are 6 more of Roger Puta's photos of a fantrip in Eastern Kentucky  in October 1986.  If you missed it yesterday, Part 1 gives the introduction and background at http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,4226447

Photos 3 and 4 are classics.  The Monon BL2 shown in the last photo was tucked in behind 159.  It is still at  the  Kentucky Railway Museum and, I'm told is still operable.  So far nobody has mentioned the status of 159.

Enjoy Roger's slides,
Marty Bernard

This is a great set of pics.  #3 has the quality of a fine painting.  I like having the interior of the coach.  Wish we had more of those.

The tunnel pictures are near Jellico, TN/Ky. I rode that 152 east Kentucky excursion. Great way to spend several days behind a really nice locomotive.

152 is currently being re-built at KRM.

The coach interior is ex-SAL 821, a Jim Crow car built in the 1920's that had been part of the Clinchfield steam excursion train. It was donated to the Ky Ry Museum by Seaboard System and later acquired by the Florida Railroad Museum at Parrish, FL and is there now. It is now part of the FRM excursion train that runs on weekends.
