Alco #9 moves to its new home!

[indie1361]

Well, #9 moving sounded horrifying. Must be all that rest and wear. Can't wait to see this old girl running once more!

Not to worry, she's in good hands! They just finished building their new shop.

So glad she's out of the dead-line. I saw her rusting away for years.

@CorneliusCorporation Same here, I even helped by getting under her to emery cloth the axles! I took a picture last October, but can send a link for some reason.

Very neat! I remember seeing this engien back on New Hopes track a couple years ago. Glad she's got a new home!

What kind of trailer is that?

[boberttrain831]

It will be cool to see a steam engine switching freight cars. It will be nice not seing this locomotive abandoned on the deadline

Can some one on here let SMS know that their drive rods are located at Steamtown on the scrap dock. they were transported there back in 1983 when 565 was brought up. They mistaken them for 565's. but they are way to big for her , We found 565's in the boon yard.

Thank you,

Len

Co -Volunteer Lead of Project 565

Will do, thanks Len!

the 412 was not running 9069 and 554 were

[PRR5406]

SOmething very satisfying about seeing two Baldwin Diesels, in original paint, pushing a steam locomotive into the shops for repair and running! Thanks for the great video, Tim.

[Baldwindiesels]

Thanks! Hope to add another soon from there. Yes, B&O 412 was just along for the ride, not working. But that made 9069 sound nicer! ;-)

[bigjim4life]

what/where are the SMS shops where she is at?

[fleecejackets]

I remember seeing this unit several times on the dead line at NH&I! Awesome video, Tim -- I hope they can get her goin' again soon!
