819 - Cotton Belt (4-8-4)


Recommended Posts

From what I just read they are currently working on a full restoration of the Cotton Belt 819 (4-8-4) steam locomotive.  This is an engine that was restored and operated in the past but was then parked (for reasons I'm not sure of).

I honestly don't have any more information than that above.  Was just reading comments from those involved.  Not sure how how much in the way of resources are currently available or are being thrown at the effort.  What got my attention was to hear from someone doing the work that confirmed that what they are doing isn't just cosmetic, it was for full operational restoration.
