Dec 5, 2008 - When were these taken? Is she running today?
GSpro Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - If this is the same one I'm thinking.. I believe she's currently sitting in the Steamtown shop dismantled after a funding project for it fell through.

Dec 5, 2008 - Taken in the 80's. She's in Altoona being restored.
GSpro Says:
Dec 5, 2008 - Yes, but it's still at Steamtown. I still say if it was sent to strasburg it would have been done by now. all that money they used was wasted.

Dec 5, 2008 - Wait, I thought she was sent to Altoona already?

Dec 5, 2008 - In 1995, a Gettysburg Railroad steam engine blew up. This resulted in a new law. Every boiler must be re-certified from scratch. 1361 had a subtle flaw in the boiler design that wasn't found until it was in a million pieces. The firebox crown sheet was designed with nuts on the staybolts. Those were later left out, making it weaker and unable to certify under the new law. The project isn't doomed, but it may take awhile to sort out.
