Re: Bob Richardson Birthday Steam-Up

Jim,
Thanks for that ….quite a chunk of machinery…. can well believe it's a thirsty critter..

Two questions if I may.

1) Was intrigued by that brake cylinder assembly hung off the front.

A bit hard to tell from the photo…but seems to be connected by the chain to the coupler release pin..??
If so, would it be a remote control operated from the cab.?

2) Is it part of the CRRM collection.. ? Sorry for the dumb question but the CRRM website is a bit sparse on details.
The last time I visited was 1990….and a lot has happened since then.

I mean no disrespect to the Museum….it's a fine website…

Seems about time to go on-line and seek out an up-to-date collection inventory.
