I appreciate learning more about this project through these images. There's a lot more going on there than when I first heard about it. Thanks for sharing with us.

Very interesting. These guys are moving right along. A few questions:
1. Who is guiding them on the boiler work?
2. How are they funding the work? Do they have grant money or private donations?
3. Will they have track to run on when they get her finished? Do they plan to lay track there at the roundhouse?

There is track at the roundhouse.  I am not sure how much they can use but hopefully they can work something out with Union tank car that uses some of the track I believe for storage.

I only wish that my good friend Tommy Thompson who was born in Evanston would have lived to see this.

I once drove over and got a look at what was left standing at Evanston-- in a rental car which wasn't supposed to leave Utah.

Leave Utah?

You were lucky that you had no 'incidents' while out of state!
If you were given those instructions, then no insurance wouls have protected 
you --- if the car was out of state, and was involved..

The are great photos. The B&W really enhances the "vintage scene" of the pictures.
