Steam & Excursion > 3985 in the Steam Shop

Over there on that darn Facebook site, Ed Dickens just posted in the Official UP Steam Club group a few pictures of 3985 in the main shop with 4014 in the background and Mary Nystrom in for a visit. Maybe it's not newsworthy here but I thought it was neat.

I think it is A-1, and altho I've only met her twice she was nice to me the first time, and seemed to remember me the second time. I very much enjoyed her and her late husband.

Cheers, Dave

Mary Nystrom was and is a fantastic person and very glad you met her.

Mary is an awesome lady!

Gosh it looks stripped, not even any number boards. I imagine they are putting all that stuff back on it and mate a tender with it?
Good to see Mary, it's been 12 years since I've talked to her.

They are preparing it to mate the 4014 tender to it and get it ready for its journey to Silvis, Illinois for a grand restoration project and a return to operation.

As in hiding things that could potentially be fairly easily stolen?  Seems smart to me.

Good grief it was stored in the round house not outside, why not strip the 5511 if that were the concern?

I doubt it will be inside while in transit.  Good grief.

Why not read what was posted by Bob K think that says it all so your post was not needed.  But hey I understand as it TO and the need to gripe is normal.

Thank you so much for your opinion, have a great weekend!

I'm looking forward on seeing 3985 back myself!

Oh I see, you are saying they took all that stuff off to transport it. Ok that makes sense.
