The Flying Yankee

Seams like they have been working on it for a long time, but then again it is a major project.

Once its back up and operating I sure hope they dont forget to come visit us westerners...

Very cool.  Looks like they are making good progress.

My very earliest memory of anything at all was seeing the Flying Yankee sitting behind a split rail fence from the window of an Edaville coach in 1958.  I was 2 - 1/2!

    The restoration of the Flying Yankee is a joint effort of "The Flying Yankee Restoration Group" and the "State of New Hampshire DOT".  Target for it to re-enter service as a Tourist Train is 2010.  It is being restored in the shops of the "HOBO Railroad" and can be viewed by the public.  The group maintaines a WEB Page at www.flyingyankee.com
