B&O Rail Museum: Moving B&O "President Washington" steam loco

[Mark5]

From August this year - cool video with various classic diesels making the move, and of the course the "star" loco of the video - being moved for a cosmetic restoration.

They're doing great stuff down there in Pigtown.

I agree, Ed.  I know this is only a cosmetic restoration, but wouldn't it be cool to see it pulling a consist in matched B&O paint (the repainted CSX OCS set would do!) up the Philly Sub?  Can you imagine the sight as it crossed the Susquehanna River bridge?

The bridge would be washed out by all the foam!

Joking aside, it sucks that it's so bad for steam engines to run them without being fired up. Even if it wasn't operable it might be a fun photo charter!
