Steam & Excursion > ATSF #2921 Move Status Update

A very big crew was working on the ATSF #2921 today. They have the "bridgework" for the super heavy duty trailer in and attached to the 4-8-4, and were working to get the dollies and wheels in place. If I counted right, this trailer will have 128-tires under it! I also went by the new display site at the Amtrak station. Nobody was working there, but they do have a short section of track (built to mainline standards!), but I doubt that both the locomotive and tender will fit on it!

For a second American Freedom Train came to my head.

It's actually Crisco. Helps them slide it into place easier.

There was a thread where it was discussed not too long ago.

Probably a sealant required to keep any evil asbestos from falling out and contaminating the world during the move!
