Re: N&S 55 Davenport running at Old Threshers

Actually Jeff, the former COO of the company was going about to turn you guys into the corporate steam shop, that's why all the swapping. Four of the parks have steam locomotives, and Knotts is the only fully staffed year round shop. As far as the Davenport, the reason it was shipped back is that Cedar Point was hearing that the state of Ohio was going to red flag their third locomotive (being the only one active that has a rivited boiler). For what ever reason they backed down. However Cedar Point did want to have the smaller of the two Porters rebuilt. They also wanted to keep as much of the work in house as possible. Before any of this came to fruition, said COO was discharged from the company, with the CEO who was about to retire not knowing about any of this, the plans have gone to the back burner on simmer........
