At the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, Strasburg, PA. May 9, 2007. The museum is moving around display's within the building, hence some PRR. Locomotives get to see daylight! Cool huh?
That E diesel, I saw them run on the BM&R in 1987. BM&R owned/leased a pair that were bought from Amtrak. The horn on them was loud and they ran fast, 50 MPH!
So the Museum and the SRR have no relationship other than back in 1975 the SRR let the state build the museum next to their property? The museum leased 1223 and the 7002 to the SRR until 1989? 7002 entered service in 1983, it had a very short life at the RR, 7 years. It's a shame that NONE of the PRR steam locomotives run. The only operating PRR steam is at William's Grove, PA. 1361 was taken apart and needs major work. I saw all of 'em in action! 1223, 7002 1981-1985, and 1361 at York, PA 1988
This is so awesome! I never thought that baby moved!

Also, there are currently no operating Reading steam, either with BMR/RBMN 2102 out of service since Oct. 1991.
