It's nice to historical things taken care of instead of rusting away on the back tracks of a museum.

That is a very fine picture of a well kept engine. Yea I see the new appliances required for today's training (Pardon the pun) but overall, Im pleased it is in good condition.

She sure is pretty. And in good mechanical condition. I asked a member of the crew if I could visit the cab...wow, clean and neat as a pin! The South Branch Valley Railroad owns this engine, and run her in the original paint scheme. The Governor of the state was to visit, and this was set up as a special run for him. The two stainless passenger cars are owned by them also, and are in good condition too. Can you imagine, a B&O passenger Geep in as delivered paint..and in excellent condition!
