Y6a 2156

[NW Mailing List]

I spoke to a couple UP people this past weekend too, and the ones I talked to didnt say that 3985 was retired, but they both did say that 844 is apart, and they are re-doing the flues and a couple other things. That would be pretty disappointing if the 3985 is done.

If Mr. Jacobson can build a working roundhouse...a collective group can restore a locomotive.  Everything good in life takes time and money...and starts with a dream!
