ES&NA is currently sitting in the steam shop at Reader. The tender is torn apart, rotting and is going to need complete restoration as will the locomotive. #1 will forever remain at Reader Park. I've heard talk going around that we could possibly be coming back to get a couple of more things, and possibly 1 more steam engine.
@MainlineProductions2 The only other piece of property on Eureka is the mogul #201. The 2-8-2 #226 actually belongs to this railroad and would have to be payed for before it would be taken. #1 was by far the locomotive in the best condition when it was taken down. #201 needs a considerable amount of work, more than any other Reader owned locomotive. If you guys want that 2-8-2 there that isn't owned by the Reader Railroad, it has a boiler in need of a lot of work.
It's too bad that 1 went to the Reader. I heard you talking about the "largest steam gatheringof the year" in this video. I was there!
