To anyone who would like to know:
GLRR #40 is looking and sounding great on the Loop this summer! She is sporting a green boiler jacket, all new paint, and beautiful whistle. Now is the time to ride "Over the Loop" and watch and listen to this great locomotive in action on the 31/2-4% grade of the Georgetown Loop! I was fourtunate enough to get a cab ride in #40 on opening day(thanks to the engineer Ted and fireman Steve Peck), and she never sounded better. Visit the Loop's website to see and hear #40 on opening day.
