First and foremost, I'm so sorry for the loss to the family and to the rail preservation community. May Mr. Jones forever rest in peace. God bless you. Second, I know that the Mineral Range Railroad purchased Soo Line F-21-S class 2-8-0 #2425 in 2018 and moved it to Ishpeming in 2019. Do they still have plans to restore #2425 to operation after things settle down? https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews ... relocated/ |

The late Mr. Jones never owned the Baldwin Sharks (that anyone ever claimed--though sometimes in these cases "ownership" is a fuzzy moving target.....), but in recent years he did own (or at least was said to have owned) ex-C&NW 4-6-0 175 (now at Steam Railroading Institute), former PRR doodlebug 4668, a former CB&Q gas-electric car, and some other pieces. A search on "Clint" in this forum will pull up past discussions over twenty years or more. Some of his former pieces, like C&NW 175, ended up elsewhere, and a few other pieces are now supposedly in the "top secret lair" somewhere in Michigan's U.P. along with the Baldwin Sharks and/or other preservation jewels/oddities........ |

It's still in storage at Blueberry Mine as of 2021 |
