As of October of last year the boiler is at East Broad Top I saw it there it's in the left side of their machine shop sitting on a home-built flat car. when I last talked to somebody at the museum last year and i was told that parts of the k4 were on the premises in storage, parts were in Scranton and like mentioned before the boiler was at EBT. basically this thing is scattered across the state! I was told that the goal was to finish the roundhouse and have it put inside where they were going
@OSCALETRAINGUY DUH!!! The only ones who don't are haters. I would rebuild this engine myself if I had the money to do it, and I will if I ever earn enough!
How bout the Strasburg fixes her, then steamtown can run her on their line cause they have a bit better terrain for a K4. I mean not 18mph and maybe 30.
@nkproad777 Strasburg I think already has a couple they are fixing aren't they. That's what half of steamtown problem was with not fixing stuff up. That and no money.
It won't be steaming again, Today the K4 was on the news and the president said that the K4 will be restored but, will not be operable because it would not meet the F.R.A regulations.
@trainmanlars Thank you someone actually gets the guts to tell the FRA to screw off. The locomotive will run anyways we just have a shitty economy right now and no one wants to put in the time and effort. ALTOONA NEEDS TO GET HER STEAMING! She is literally one of the greatest thing for PA and for Altoona itself. Where did you hear that she wasn't going to steam again? They put way to much time and effort into the thing to just let it collect dust!!!
According to the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum, PRR 1361 will be reassembled in their new roundhouse after its completion. I don't now if it will steam again but most of her parts are at the museum already, ex. drivers, cab, etc. The boiler on the other hand is a big question mark. Work is getting done on it slowly but surely and the museum's president said that the restoration of PRR 1361 will be completed sometime this year or next.
Love that sound!!! Is that the real sound from the actual train or dubbed in? The mechanical sound and steam and whistles are amazingly clear!!! Great job!
It is so sharp! Thanks for confirming - the occasional car horn or voice made me pretty sure is was real time but wasn't 100% sure. And again - thanks so much for posting this!

@m3636y They need the roundhouse to store it somewhere so that they can restore on site there to met FRA requirements.

K4s #1361 Should be restored to operation, it is "The spirit of Altoona". So why put her out of service? Let her steam again I say!
