Southern Pacific #9 Renovations
| June 02, 2023 04:16PM |
Today, the Laws Rail museum facebook posted the announcement below. It states that they're ready to do some renovations to #9, mainly cosmetically! I'm pretty happy about this because it does need a bit of a touch up, after all this time. However the most exciting part of this announcement is the boiler test that will be included in the renovations. This could possibly lead to the operational restoration of #9! What do you think?
