...On the rails again...
« on: Today at 02:10:14 AM »
  Old #18 is bak in service.  Nearby town has a historic steam engine, which has been off the rails for 7 years..   A complete rebuilding was in order,
   and with meagre funds, small but dedicated working team, a suggested 2 year rebuild was extended to 7 years.

  Of course, much of that time expended, was waiting for periodic inspectors making their appearance.  The tracks run about 1.5 miles
   (as the crow flies) from where I used to live.  Inever rode the train , although I worked some on the station.

  I leave the ride to rail enthusiasts and the tourists..  The engineers, flag men etc. are all very dedicated rail aficinados.

If it only goes such a short distance, why even bother? Now if it went several miles thru nice rural country side I could see why one might want to take a ride. I guess like you I'm just not a rail enthusiast.
