Re: NKP 765

I heard sources calling it for New Haven @ 9:00 am Tuesday, turn it around and head east by 10am. I figure by the house by noon with no delays like 4449 on Sunday (with amtrak & idiots)

Once the Switch & rail is installed in Waterloo that engine will be based @ Waterloo, Indiana...

Re: more railfest info

NKP 765 on CSX? I can GUARANTEE NOT! AA and GLC Seems the likely route... CSX has a bad look when it comes to steam locomotives running on their track in the Detroit Area... Last Time was 1993 when NKP 765 was dressed up as her sister C&O 2765... her and PM1225 were here, but that was the last one....

Re: looking for a used sand tower

I have to check my pictures but, up on the old WC in Fondulac, Wi. They used to have an old 2 bay covered hopper on stilts & that was their sanding tower. I bet since the Wet Noodle (CN) it since has been repainted. Not for sure if someone could make one like that or not.
