  1. I recently became aware of a steam RR museum. Looks quite interesting.

  2. That is a very long tender.
    That was a long hard pull to get her back on the rails.

    There are two campaign ribbons visible on the right side of the cab.

    Comment in a Trains Magazine article about the 2926.
    "Flintlock76
    And those campaign ribbons on the cab? Those are the American Theater of Operations Medal (WW2) and the National Defense Medal. Makes sense, we wouldn't have won WW2 without locomotives like 2926.

    Thanks Mr. Jones!"

    Beautiful and a staggering amount of very hard and very skilled work.
