IF they want a few more former BN/CB&Q E's LTE in Ohio has a bunch, including the 2 former NYS&W E9's.

It was reported that they have picked up the former IC E8/9B 4108 that went to Alaska as a steam generator car now with 4 axle blomberg trucks...sure wish someone in the midwest would save the two former IC E-unit cabs that still exist...

Anyone have the complete Iowa Pacific loco/passenger car roster?

Did I read somewhere that Ed Ellis is in the running to buy the Texas State RR?

Yes, you did.

If that happens it would be a good thing for the TSRR! Among other things, they could possibly paint their steam engines like they should be instead of circus train colors.
Didn't they have a new boiler made for their ATSF 4-6-2?
Too bad Paulson Spence's collection isn't intact, he could buy some IC steam engines for them.

The 4-6-2 AND 2-8-0 have new boilers IIRC.
