Title: Southern Steamers Being Restored
Post by: JCagle on August 05, 2009, 09:29:38 AM
I got word today that the SOU 630 is getting new drivers this week at TVRM. They plan on having her back up and running before Army 610 goes in for it's 1,472 day inspection. Anybody remember when this is due?
Along with the preliminary work on 4501 going on at TVRM and the 401 in Illinois it looks like there is a lot going in the right direction for the Southern steamers left.

630 now has all four drivers under her ,   expect a fire up date of next spring if everything goes as planned.

nothing happening right now ,  the main focus is on the 2-8-0 # 630 and the E8 6914.
