Jack Showalter used to own the Allegheny Central near Covington Va, He ran this thing up to Vails Ford on the Hot Springs branch of C&O on the Jackson river.

that was in 1981 When I rode it there. Then He sent this thing up on the Shenandoah Valley RR near Stuanton Va ???? where is she today?

@MrHadley2011 Is there any plans of running again? I heard that it hasn't run in years...

[Strasburg1991]

@1jackdk YES!!! There are rumors that 1238 and 1286 will run again in the Newark Scenic Railroad in Ohio. How do I know this?? I talked to the manager 2 years ago, and by this October hopefully, they will be restored.

I'll tell ya what Jack, you made my day with this one! Yah buddy. There is a SOO LINE 4-6-2 pacific sitting in the town of Gladstone, in Michigan's upper peninsula, and I'v alway's wondered what it would have looked, and sounded like, when it was working. Now I know! Thumb's up and favorite's!...Rich
