Date: 01/18/19 06:09 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: pt199 Nice coverage with ground and drone photos.
And how about the man holding the wires up out of the way. I think it was telephone and not electrical wires. Date: 01/18/19 07:54 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: Auburnrail And that trailer under the loco moves how?

a large diesel powered pump I presume? Date: 01/18/19 13:29 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: mahnud Would like to see them putting it on the mover. Or taking it off. Not exactly like an ATV ramp. I imagine that takes a long time. Thank you for the pictures.

Search youtube for Mammoet Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) Or fix this link: youtube dot com/watch?v=wL3YvOe0ZgE It's pretty neat. Date: 01/18/19 14:03 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: 2839Canadian What kind of shape is this engine in?
Once overhauled, where are they going to run it? Date: 01/18/19 14:08 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: HotWater seaboardc30-7 Wrote:

But it will require a full 1472 FRA inspection & re-certification anyway. > Once overhauled, where are they going to run it? I believe the local railroad is called the Kentucky and Eastern, which even has passenger commuter service on it. Date: 01/18/19 14:49 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: RailfanTerry It will run on the Nashville & Eastern RR now under R.J. Corman control

Obviously I have Kentucky on my mind, due to their many Bourbon distilleries. Date: 01/18/19 18:38 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: MEKoch The automated trailer is just like a train with Remote Control Operator. He has the same operating pack....... Is he collecting conductor's pay or engineer's pay??

In photo #6, you can see the Nashville Union Station Hotel in the background — neat! Date: 01/21/19 06:37 Re: NC&STL #576 on the road to restoration! Author: ns1000 GREAT stuff..!! Thanks for posting.
