I must echo the accolades for the MCRR volunteers who performed nothing short of magic in getting the #6 in service Saturday. Your video must be viewed in context that this 119 year old engine received final reassembly on Friday and was first under steam late Friday evening.
Although the #6 was on the rails this spring, it was obvious that it was not quite ready to whistle off!
