4501 fire up

[southern154]

I saw her Saturday, and the only problem I saw, was that the bell seized up. One of the crew members climbed up and pushed it loose and got it ringing again. Other than that, they had an issue with the air compressor Thursday before Railfest, but it was fixed on Friday and she made some break in runs. It was truly fantastic to see her under steam in person. Great Job to TVRM and Thanks!

There are plenty of photos of her on Railpictures.net. She appears to have run fine and even double-headed with 630. Great to see her back in steam again.

I was busy with my museum's Day out with Thomas event on Saturday when 4501 was supposed to be fired up, so I did not get to go myself to see it. Did everything go alright? Were there any problems?
