They hope to have the boiler and cab back on the running gear in the spring.

02/01/2023: East Broad Top 2-8-2 #16 (BLW c/n45362, 1916) has made her first moves under steam since March 29, 1956.

Rather off topic, but there is a new build 4-4-0 on its way to Dayton, OH at the moment.....

Omly problem is the thing is battery powered....!!

Well, it appears that I completely overlooked 1 steam locomotive being restored to operation.

- Buffalo Creek & Gauley 4 class 2-8-0 #4 is being restored at Cass, WV. It'll be nice to see a rod locomotive operating at Cass (especially since the tracks from Cass to Durbin have finally been restored). Good luck, everyone. https://www.steamthe4.com/?flow=507014

So, congratulations to E.B.T. for #16's first successful run since 1956.


Also, I found 1 more steam locomotive undergoing a rebuild.

- Denver & Rio Grande Western K-27 class 2-8-2 #464 is getting rebuilt at the Huckleberry Railroad. Hopefully, it won't be too long before she is up and running again alongside U.S. Army 4-6-0 #152.


I also wanted to see if anyone has any new information about a certain locomotive. Is California Western 2-8-2 #45 still undergoing a rebuild?

Another one that apparently has slipped under the radar is former Rio Grande Southern #41, aka Knotts Berry Farm is being rebuilt at the D&S Shops.....
