I did overexaggerate a little, but you gotta remember that when you want to preserve as much as possible, it will cost more money. A new boiler is no the biggest problem. The frame would have to be thoroughly inspected and repaired if necessary. and the tender, well, I would vote to rebuild it rather than replace it. Not sure that affects cost there, but again, the small things add up...

@SierraRailway You're a bit off on restoration costs. She would need a new boiler but that would be about 300,000. Running gear would need cleaning up considering a lot of meet is left on crownbrass. The tender would be around 50,000 shooting high. Hell, 2 million dollars would put a big boy in service.

If Reno went to a museum to be restored, she would get a brand new cab to match her original(the current one was built to look like UP #119's) and her boiler would be cleaned up but NOT replaced. To return the Reno to full operation would be at least 1 3/4 million dollars, if not 2 million considering the damage that Old Tuscon has dealt her. Her tender would have to be totally rebuilt or replaced, since it was gutted for a diesel air compressor. TOO much work for most museums today.

that is also not true. #3 has totally outmatched the Reno's career in every way, but she herself has been in just a little over a hundred MOVIES. She has starred in over 200 television and film productions altogether.

This once-proud Baldwin is going to need a total rebuild to be functional, especially a new boiler to replace the stocker---looks as though she went into the ditch, judging from the massive cease right behind the smokebox.

it said on the plague Reno is the most photographed locomotive in history, that is not true, although it has been in 100 movies, Sierra railroad #3 has been in over 200 movies.

How bout repairing the reno and moving to the train station in Tucson near locomotive 1673

@virginiatruckee We should be thankful she isn't in a place like Oregon, of all the locomotives here, I've only scene two decent ones on display that weren't maintained by groups. However the Reno needs a better home. I almost think the V&T recon. commission could do better than Old Tucson.

No problem. I don't know the Reno that well, but thanks.

She was last featured in Wild Wild West. Her cab just needs a repaint, since it was replaced in 96 for use in the film in 99.
