SEMO Pennsy: Opening Day On The Iron Mountain (4/6/24)

It's April 6th, 2024, and we are in Jackson, MO, to document the first run of 2024 on the St Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway. The train, powered by a former Pennsylvania E Unit #5898, will operate south to Gordonville, MO and return.
The SLIMRR operates in southeastern Missouri near Cape Girardeau out of Jackson. The RR recently finished the paint on the Pennsy E Unit and it looks the best it has in a very long time.
Come along with WR Productions as the camera rolls at 4 different locations on the southbound run, and 3 on the return north.

We had an Old Iron Mountain Railway Train Station in Jefferson Barracks which brought Troops into Jefferson Barracks. Dumb, Dumbs decided to Tear Down👍🙏

Are They Restoring It To Still Or Operating Condition

@@Mokanake-kc7qr it is cosmetic to begin with, however once 5 gets more public attention the museum will do a full restoration. She is too unknown currently, they could barely muster enough money for the cab over 20 years
