Ground shaking awesome! Routine grease job Old Glory on the water tank car. Got to have that to make steam! 844 pulling in to Washington, MO Last edited by Oldgas; Wed Oct 19 2016 08:04 AM.

There is nothing like a live steam locomotive! Regards, Jim I collect gas pump salt and pepper shakers and the plastic coin banks made by AVSCO.

Her and her father (his dad) got to ride in the cab with him to Laramie,50 miles. I was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack. The UP keep it in the roundhouse here in Cheyenne where they are also restoring 4014. Mitch
