Jennie K - 3 Days To Go.
Author: ChilliSub

A while back, someone on Trainorders expressed concern about the ex-Cedar Point locomotive, Jennie K, may be sold for scrap value at the Knotts Berry Farm auction and lost forever.

It's up to about $32,000, including buyers premium, with 3 days to go. Hopefully she finds a good home, but for that kind of money, the scrappers are out.

Doesn't appear to have a tender.

The tender is said to be disassembled and at Cedar Point. Not sure if it is part of the deal, would be curious if it wasn't. 
However the tender if a far cry from being ready to run.....much like the engine.

Didn't someone say that the tender, other than the shell, has had a lot of work? Even at $32K the thing is
such a pig in a poke, be nice to have some insight into the boiler condition, cylinder casting condition, frame
condition, etc.
