Steam & Excursion > Frisco 1522 in June, 2000Date: 09/10/22 15:38 Frisco 1522 in June, 2000 Author: MaryMcPherson Here is a trio of photos of Frisco 1522 being steamed up at the Museum of Transportation on June 18, 2000.

I was concentrating primarily on working a sound recorder that required me to work the microphone levels, so photography was an afterthought. Also, the weather was crappy. So were the photos. LOL

A shame I never got to see this engine run, as I used to live only a few hours from St. Louis. I did get to see her cold at the museum, but it's just not the same. Date: 09/10/22 16:09 Re: Frisco 1522 in June, 2000 Author: MaryMcPherson DRGWMark Wrote:

Mary McPherson Dongola, IL Diverging Clear Productions Date: 09/11/22 07:26 Re: Frisco 1522 in June, 2000 Author: steam290 For some reason, her paint always appears to be dark green to me. I believe she is black, but whenever I see her, I swear she looks like she is just a very very dark green color! Does anyone notice this, or is it possible that she actually is dark green?
She is a lovely locomotive. She’d be at the top of my list of locomotives to see run. Posted from iPhone Date: 09/11/22 10:04 Re: Frisco 1522 in June, 2000 Author: Frisco1522 She is BLACK catylized urethane with Bronze Gold lettering, red cab roof and graphite firebox and smokebox.
