ACL 4-6-2 No. 1504 restoration complete
Continued outdoor display of No. 1504 will undo all the hard work and money towards cosmetic restoration. She should be sheltered from the elements like Class J No. 611 was during static display.
It would be great if No. 1504 will be restored to operation which I hope. She was built to run and pull passenger trains.
Handsome, indeed! I’m trying to imagine what she must have looked like high-stepping on that straightaway between Florence and Kingstree, SC.
Thanks to all involved, and thank you CSX! Remember, they didn’t have to contribute to this.
Next step, “Fire Up 1504!”
It looks GOOD!
Indeed, why horse around with cosmetic when there exists demand for total restoration of prized locos?
