Re: 463 is next *PIC*

Hi Carlos,
I hope my post wasn't taken the wrong way. I wasn't trying to criticize or anything. I figured you guys had pulled the rods to make it easier to move. I'd rather see them stored up off the ground like you did.
463 is my favorite engine and I have come up many summers to see her run and ride behind her. There is one curve that I like to stop at along the highway just below Cresco to hear the engines working. The old gal sure creates the stack talk when double heading up the hill. I'll have to break out some video and give it another listen.
One year I even got to ride behind here in a triple header in the snow along with 484 and 489. I hope to see her out and about again in the future. Right now it's a lot like the days before she was restored. Sitting in about the same location but this time a lot fewer missing parts.
Here is a shot I took during July of 91. Hey, is that the same broom leaning up against her!
