MLMP Silver Steam: A&WP 4-6-2 290

Please no bad comments on this. I dont claim this as my own. Here is Atlanta and West Point 4-6-2 290 on a 1989 Atlanta to Macon Ga run. She last ran somewhere between 1992-94, and has been undergoing restoration for the last 16 some years. She will need about 3.4 million dollars to run again. The two diesels in SRR paint were part of the New Gerogia RR, but the railroad was auctioned off around 1991. Sit back, relax and watch the clip. ENJOY!!

@Strasburg1991 Rumor can NEVER be trusted in the steam world, ma boy.What you may have heard though was she is being cosmeticly restored after sitting out in the elements for a decade.
