Nice vid. As it is working it's way thru the rail yard, you can see the front drivers turning independently under the boiler.

I would love to see 4014! I watched the resto vids, being amazed. But I am no where close to those cities :(

4014 runs much cleaner since its oil conversion. Here is 4016 circa 1958 in service running on coal.

Which one is in Duluth ? I haven't been in there for many years and it's not on the website now, as they now have a book they want you to buy...:wink:
