Steam & Excursion > Another Park engine....Kingman, AZDate: 08/11/13 09:06 Another Park engine....Kingman, AZ Author: Auburn_Ed My recent trip down South led me through Kingman. This locomotive is in pretty good shape for a park engine. Thanks to those who take the time to do this.

If it has, glad they put the jacket back on, they just don't look right without it. I'm hoping they just ran out of black paint after they primed the stack extension. I was there in Feb. and it's good to see the engine so well cared for.

Good to see her intact tho. How dry is Kingman? Pictures I've seen of her before looked more like sun fade but no rust.
Belching fire from the stack too. Date: 08/11/13 11:21 Re: Another Park engine....Kingman, AZ Author: YG Date: 08/11/13 14:35 Re: Another Park engine....Kingman, AZ Author: mt19a Still has the lagging.
