locomotive #2, our 1955 GE 65 ton center cab

Our major project for the Winter this year is to repair and repaint locomotive #2, our 1955 GE 65 ton center cab. The tear down of engine is already in process plus we are working on the inside of the cab. Gauges have been sent out to be certified and the entire instrument panel has already been restored. We are still in the mode of paint chip removal and hope to be painting the cab interior shortly. Look for further updates as we make more progress on our main passenger train motive power.

Locomotive #2 will be painted the same paint scheme but with the passenger coach red and crème instead of bright red and white.

Here are some pictures taken in September 2011 by Frankie to show the track by our Civil War Field. Sadly, it has made us cancel the Civil War Reenactment for this year.

During train rides snacks and drinks can be purchased and enjoyed in the newly decorated cafe car or taken back to your seat.

This mourning dove thinks it is. She has at least 2 baby birds under her wings.
