Re: Steamers on the "Loop"

Boy, the hot news of last year was that the #40 2-8-0 was fixed up and leased for five years to the White Pass & Yukon Route. The #44 is in the process of being returned to service. There have been periodic postings on the board about the status of the work. I seem to recall one that said was off and into a boiler shop.
This last April the White Pass once agin made use of its steam rotary to get press exposure. This year the rotary was pushed by double headed steam: the #40 and its own 2-8-2.
Suggest that you use the search feature listed at the bottom of the index to find the older postings.
The two engines were once on the International Railways of Central America in Guatemala.
