Re: C&S 9 status

That's good news, Jason!

At least the display will be 90% historic to 1939.

Was the rebuilt #9 actually in service for a short time after the fair - maybe for a year or two before abandonment?

The CHS sure gives the impression of having more-or-less unlimited funds, considering all the money they have wasted over the past four years. If they had developed a realistic plan and spent the money wisely, things would be much different today. Of course the big mistake was in driving off the Ashbys; cooperation instead of antagonism might have allowed the operation of a carefully restored #9 and other historic equipment on a limited basis for special occasions.

Oh, well - what's done is done; I'm just glad things are finally looking up a little.
