Mr. Coker,
My congrats on all of your personal hard work and toil, as well as the entire group who is responsible for helping to get this beautiful locomotive running again! I am just beginning to understand the hours and hours and days of frustration involved in resurecting a rusting hulk of machinery back from the grave to being a shiny and better-than-new locomotive thundering upgrade. From the past in to the present.
I'm very pleased that I am around in a time when at least some of this country's history is being restored and maintained for others to see. Thank you and every single one of the "middle men" for all the little, unseen things required to return #315 to the rails.
