@SierraRailway I know, but they have enough going on there as it is. They still have #7312 in their shops, but they said that right now, they are going to put the time needed instead to ensure the working conditions of their other three locomotives. They also have 2 contract engines in their shops I believe, so those are obviously going to be higher priority...

They sure do! They ALMOST got the contract to build a new boiler for Rogers-built Sierra Railway #3. They drew the plans instead.

@SierraRailway Strasburg does incredible work, don't they?

Does the William Mason ever pull cars?

Well, the whole idea of the counterweights in the first place are to balance out the weight of the driving rods and crank pins on the opposite end of the wheel. Since the lead driver has a longer crank pin and two rod connections, the counterweights are larger and of equal weight.

The William Mason's restoration was truly one in a million! I mean, what movie has enough in its budget to fund the complete restoration of an 1855 steam locomotive? Truly magnificent. Its even more amazing when you consider the fact that she has most of her originality intact!

nice shot. I remember seeing this engine in the disney movie, The Great Locomotive Chase, I was surprised when I found out the General was portrayed by the William Mason. she's a very beautiful looking engine.

Fine job keeping railroad history up and running. This wood-fired 4-4-0 might be a weakling compared to General Electric's latest CC turbo-Diesel-electric, but it pulled four cars on a tight schedule just fine in the 1800's.

It's too bad you can't hear the William Mason make the iconic chugging steam locomotives are known for in this video.
The "chug" is one of my favorite things about steam locomotives, it makes it sound like a powerful creature slowly clambering itself up to top speed.

Biomass fuel- no imported oil. Build a copy of that locomotive with today's steam tech, and it will have lower emissions and operating cost than the greenest diesel. And carbon neutral too. Long live steam!

Don't Fret. Cockroach is just pissed because his mother was hit by a diesel just prior to his birth.
