Sure would be awesome to see 3751 and 2926 together again!

Can you imagine either one of them tackling the grades on the Grand Canyon Railway!?

Or perhaps both......

She needs to run the route of the Chiefs just like 3751 did all those years ago!  Bow

Wow.  Oh wow!

The "Sleeping Beauty" awakens.  Maybe they should name it the "Princess Aurora?"

And you can tell it's ready to come alive when that smokestack extender pops up, like an opening eyelid!

And those campaign ribbons on the cab?  Those are the American Theater of Operations Medal (WW2) and the National Defense Medal.  Makes sense, we wouldn't have won WW2 without locomotives like 2926.

Thanks Mr. Jones!
