Steam & Excursion > Latest on ATSF 3463Date: 11/11/24 06:57 Latest on ATSF 3463 Author: BCHellman Date: 11/11/24 09:14 Re: Latest on ATSF 3463 Author: Frisco1522 At least it looks like it has a coat of paint on it. All the parts stripped and hopefully accessable.
Awesome locomotive and deserves better. Back in 1996, we were in Topeka with 1522 for RR days and were saddened over it's appearance. I think there was some sort of master plan to restore it to burn a different fuel and run 100mph a while back. Haven't heard any more about that.

Haven't heard any more about that. The article addresses this issue. Not going to happen.

Still, I suppose if they intend to move 3463, they may literally have to pick up steam.

Ran hot passenger trains between Chicago-La Junta, or Belen, or other western terminals. Must have been quite a sight seeing those drivers spinning fast @ 80-90 mph.
