Actually you and Daniel are both wrong lol; Lee you're thinking of #103. #103 came from the sumter & Choctaw Railroad, while #40, came from the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad.
But I think it was built for the Portland, Astoria & Pacific Railway as its 100, then to the Minarets and Western as 103 then to the Aberdeen and Rockfish in NC then the Essex.
nice job man! but too short

Technicly she didnt. She was built by alco brooks works in upstate new york, then she went over to Oregon. She was built for freight.

#40 has a very nice crosby 3 chime whistle. If not true I will ask the crew. Cool a rhyme True and Crew hahahahaha.

I don't think 40 will work for just a week. It will work for 4 years

She might be running for a very long time while 97 is in repair. I want to hear 97's whistle again
