    So awesome to see her almost ready for service! Can't wait to see her doing what she was built to do again.

    Wow, this is going to be the only steam locomotive in the USA to be in regular commercial service, that very cool.

    Never looked that good when I fired her. Great Job guys. I’m too old to fire her now, but I remember how to. Never forgot. Still remember shoveling coal into that fire door. Track was bad in those days and sometimes I missed the door and threw it at the engineer!! Haha

    I remember this engine sitting forlorn and rusting at N&HI. What a massive job to get this up and running. Well done! Looking forward to seeing it in person some time.

    I’m pretty happy that they are almost done with #9. I hope to visit this engine when it’s in operation.

    Hope 9 can visit both the NH&I and BR&W in the future one day.

    That’s an odd Reading 6 chime, at least that’s what I think it is. It’s a steptop whistle but the originals were flat. It sounds more like the replica RDG 6 #40 uses sometimes, with the more shallow sound and deeper tone.

    Does anyone have an accurate count on the number of RR steam locomotives that can now run their own steam power and or are near to running?

    • @DaimosZ

      One of the recent Trains Magazine issues had a full sheet of known operating steam locos in the US and the exact number iirc was around 150 operating steam locomotives

      I plan on being there. I don't get to work on 9 too much anymore but I help where I can. They keep me busy on the diesels.

      @@anthracitemodeler8810 Oh, you work for SMS? What's it like? I would love to get a job with the company, especially since they have some Ex-LIRR ALCo units, and I'm from LI, but I don't even know how to go about applying. And I'm sure there are qualifications I'd need that I don't have.
