Thanks for the update, Kelly. I am a steam guy, but I have say that switcher looks sharp! Can't wait to see the #39's boiler when you guys are done with it and the 346's tender looks fantastic. As usual, Strasburg's expertise is superb. God bless. Seth |

Kelly, Thank you so much for the update! The 8618 looks amazing in her new paint. Looks like the NYC was kept in mind when the lettering was done. The Progress on the bolier is also looking great! I look forward to the 2009 opearting season. Keep up the great work! Anthony |

Wonderful news and progress at the best loco shop inthe east. I too, hope you get to use what you've learned from #39 on #1361. I do hope the G5s gets fully restored by Strasburg. |

Thanks, Kelly, for these progress photos, and for "setting the pace" in repair/restoration. 8618 looks GREAT! As to LIRR 39, this seems to be the only "un-facelifted" PRR-designed engine of its era with good prospects for operation... As such, may she come to be seen as the living example of PRR's "finest" (classic) power and toward that end, I (an unrepentant NYC partisan) wish you and your team every success in your important work!! |

I am from Long Island and sure am glad to see the work going on with the #39. After spending a long time in a park she was also taken apart too long ago. The work will show that it is possible to restore a Pensylvania Railroad boiler. Ted Miles |

Allow me to interject that a second LIRR G5s, #35, remains in the custody of the Oyster Bay Rail Road Museum, and is slated for operation once more. At this time, #35 is not on the back burner while the museum continues to build up their infrastructure. |
