I'm right near the other Climax running. About one hour and a half from where it is running. Still going in overhaul but should be done soonish

Nice to see preserved loco's that aren't leaking steam out of every packing gland.

Ferdinand!

Was this shot in the 1990s? There actually is another 3-Truck Climax getting restored to operation at West Virginia's "Cass Scenic Railroad" if you're curious to know.

@keywestredbeard there is an operational Climax locomotive at Clark's Trading Post in Lincoln, New Hampshire, if you're interested.

...ah-hh, the fragrance of a big, hot steamy greasy 'n' oiled machine workin' true!
Brings to mind when America was THE industrial giant...American bought-American
made!... Screw the liberals!... Investors!... Bring it BACK!!... A Return of decent workin'
jobs that have decent pay 'n' benefits 'n' profits for investors!
I love these machines- I grew up amongst the great engines of industry...

It's a shame they didn't have the #91 ready for that. She would have made a hell of a show, ... and not have broken down.... like some engines.
