Mr. Corns - Thank you for providing a much more thorough and thoughtful reply than I ever could. The day we spent on tour with you was fantastic. There is nothing comparable in the world to what you and your colleagues are doing out in the OH cornfields. It is very fitting to me that this is all being done with the wealth created by a man who lived the American dream - who built a railroad with hard work and a lot of smarts.

If I were younger and unattached, I'd show up at the gate with a broom, a mop, and a toilet brush and ask where to start.

Under FRA rules steamers have only 15 years or 1,472 operating days (whichever comes first) to run. The last of our operational steamers ran out of time earlier this year and had to be sidelined for that eventual, lengthy, FRA-mandated, tear-down boiler inspection.


I assume Mr. Corns is referring to CP 1293 running out of time. So, is Southern Wood Preserving 0-4-0T #3 operated under an Ohio boiler certificate or is it now also out of FRA time? I know it has been run a few times at the new roundhouse.
