Rick, your vision is totally, wildly crazy. I love it!!!
Rick Rowlands:
Yes we are bringing the two sisters home from Canada. Its just a matter now of doing the paperwork and arranging for the trucking. We are working on the additional track that we have to build to set the locomotives on and hope to start moving them in a month or so.
I don't see any reason why these other two cannot be restored to operating condition eventually. These two are much more complete than 58 was when we started.
Rick Rowlands:
The boiler from J&L 59, which made its way to California in the 1990s, will be loaded for transport to Youngstown this upcoming Wednesday. This spare boiler will be evaluated, rebuilt and either held in reserve for 58 or placed on one of the Canadian Porters' chassis to bring another locomotive back into operation.
When 59 was scrapped in the 1990s, only the frame, cab and saddle tank were destroyed. Just about all other parts still exist and are in our possession. The drivers under 58 are actually those from 59 since they were in much better condition.
