Built for the Alaska Railroad before they converted the railroad to Standard Gauge, the first steam locomotive the Village and Railroad acquired and a favorite. For me, it was the first steam locomotive I had ever seen in real life. The paint scheme its wearing now I think gets some inspiration from the first scheme it wore when it was first returned to operation on the Huck.
The rebuild is supposed to coincide with the end of the 464's fluetime. Railfest this year (per the rumor mill) is supposed to focus heavily on the return of 152 and dual operation of both engines simultaneously. My understanding is that 464's time is up this year and it will go down for a heavy rebuild very similar to what just occurred on 152.
