when will #759 be restored

[jlvr6racer]

wait how did they come into possession of the CNJ F3? I thought she belonged to R&N? And are her sister units A-B staying in CNJ Colors?

[jlvr6racer]

@jlvr6racer I mean A not A B

Good video!

[Conrail6370]

HaloCE14, 759 is in Locomotive shop stall One waiting for Driversified Rail Service to start removing the asbesto from her on Tuesday of this coming week. Yes they took off hard ware and boiler jacking off and back head sheeting too.

Hope that helps answer your questions.

Great! When is the 759 going to be done?

[shininghappyperson7]

why did they have to twist your arm...........cool anyways

[shininghappyperson7]

i do think that if the 759 was running it would be cool and i love berks!but i think the 3713 is cool because i love the B&M and that is like the last soon to be operating mainline boston and maine steam locomotive......

[drfunk411]

Hey len any word on rthe #26 or #3713?  Hope they r making some progress.

[Conrail6370]

Baldwin 26 is coiming along quite well, It should be done sometime this year, if everything gose as pland. 3713 is coming along slow , but the work is getting done by a good steam man " Mike Tiller"

The shop employees are fucosing on 3254 at the moment. She needs all new tubes and tender work. Then they start on 2317 to get it working for the month of June if the FRA leaves them.

The 759 is beside itself! Ahh I crack myself up.

[Conrail6370]

Watch you don't crack your self to hard, that might hurt !!

[shininghappyperson7]

NOOOOOOOOO I love the jersey central paint on the locomotives...well i duno i think that if they actually have passenger locomotives for the actuall railroad they run on they could use those when steam isnt avalible.

[jps2102]

@shininghappyperson7 they are nice locomotives to run. I had the opportunity to ride those deisels when I was a conductor for Rail tours in Jim thorpe. they actually had to twist my arm to ride them. rodepretty good also.

[guitboxchicken]

@jps2102 You were a conductor for Rail Tours? Do you know anything about their CF7? Has it ever run under Rail Tours? It had a Santa Fe paint scheme with Amtrak Lettering... Come to think of it, that was a really weird loco...

[guitboxchicken]

@shininghappyperson7 I feel your pain!

[shininghappyperson7]

@guitboxchicken hahaha.i like the railroads of new england B&M,D&H,CRV.but sadly for the most part the only steam locomotives that were kept when the dieselisation was going on was B&M .i sure hope that locomotive 3713 getts goin again i would be to steam town in a heart beat!!!!!!!!!!
