Good question! I've not heard of any steam loco moves. Know anyone who can trace the car number? Was it moving east? Or west? Boxcab E50
Looks a lot like one of Undec's locomotives. Undec has an unusual roster. Wide variety of locomotive and car types. On the other hand, there are some that ran on almost every road except Undec. (This post may make more sense to modelers than railfans....)
there was news earlier of one of these going out of the chicago yards westward. no information on it, but i bet that was it. [ March 11, 2005, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: SteamerFan ]
That is the former Florida East Coast 148 which was undergoing restoration in Traverse City, MI. It was sold to an outfit in CO and left Chicago on 3/6 bound for Monte Vista, CO where it supposedly will complete it's restoration and pull excursions between South Fork and Creede. The name of the road escapes me. Note that it has been tagged along the route.
Was supposed to made Denver tonight, with delivery on Saturday. Mechanical problems stopped the train in La Salle Friday. Here's the group: DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILWAY HISTORICAL FOUNDATION Here's their "un"official website: Wagon Wheel Gap Route of the D&RG Has a fairly up to date list of events. Updated as projects are complete, arrival of new equipment and more.
