I went to work for ATSF in 1950 as a Throttle Jerker. I remember the old Steamer. I worked at the ATSF and SLSF interlock in Augusta Kansas. I sure miss the Steamer. I enjoyed the video very much.
Perhaps the Frisco 4500s could be send to the Frankfort Roundhouse and be part of the SLSF and NKP convention or get send to the Age Of Steam Roundhouse to run freight trains! That would be interesting! I would like to do that in the future by making a lot of money!
Cool!

So was the original intention to restore 4500 to operation?

Hey , That would be Great idea . When the Age of Steam Roundhouse is finished send old 4500 up to Ohio and she could be their first project .
