Author: Mgoldman

Break those weekend plans if you can be in Metairie, Louisiana this weekend!

The recently restored SP #745 will be performing it's second set of break in runs to Reserve, LA Friday and Saturday, March 3rd and 4th, and on Sunday the 5th she will be attending a Welcome Home Party in Jefferson, LA.

Neat little machine! Although none of the Pacific Lines Mikes were saved, this one & the others of her class make up for it. I remember Robert Franzen telling me what a great puller the one out of Austin was when he got a chance to run her.
Really glad to hear this news.

Speaking of the one in Austin, what's the story on her?

Still under restoration. It has taken a lot longer than expected when a completely new steam saddle had to be fabricated for it.
