Former Steam train? It still is! Ha!

They'd never go up that close to it these days at Roma Street, like on the tracks close! :P Ahh, would love to see 3801 back up here though.

[JediVader20]

@Russellfan1 You should see what 3801 looked like when it was hauled off for its restoration.

Former steam train???? Get up to date luv, it IS a steam train, not a former steam train... Long live 3801!!!!!!!!

[JediVader20]

@jollygreen3801 This report was from 1988, so is lacking anything planned that has happened over the last 22 years.

[nupthatisit]

was this the train involved in the Cowan crash in 1990?

[JediVader20]

Not this train exactly, but the locomotive was the one hauling the train that the electric collided with at Cowan in 1990.

resting place?

[JediVader20]

@Robkat3751 At that time, I'm not sure if 3801 was confirmed for long-term tours, so yes, they meant it was going back to a museum.
