Rayman4449 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Someone texted me a photo of this just before you posted it. Never seen any steam loco jacked up with hydraulic jacks like this, pretty wild! (I know they used something similar for the 4023 move) Good news on the restoration too, another big steamer back to operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman4449 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sure thing Jerry. I had actually never heard of this engine until this past week. The resurgence of steam restoration going on right now is quite remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
