Favorite all-time steam engine?
-Dang! This ain't easy! Could be anything from Westside & Cherry Valley Shay #7 (now at Roaring Camp) which I fired one sumer long ago; maybe it's SP 0-6-0 #1233 in Woodland, CA, which I helped restore to running condition and ran for a couple of years; and, gee -- the cab rides in the CP #2860 and SP #4449 were pretty nice; of course, there's Nevada Northern #40 and #93; aw, heck -- I'll go for broke and say the SP Cab Forward!
Have ridden in many loco cabs. Run a few, too. Location of last ride-Williams Grove, PA, last Saturday. Got to engineer for an hour on their ex-PRR 0-6-0. Chase for photos: Yeah, if there was something worth chasing. Got pretty barren around here when NS terminated their steam program. Favorite engine--Ma & Pa No. 6. Favorite engine still in existence--probably N&W No. 1218. If you ever saw her run, you'd know. Favorite group of engines--the EBT's stable of narrow gauge Mikes.
-Ridden too many times to count
-Last steam ride- Behind WP&Y #190, or ET&WNC #12 at Tweetsie RR, or Rachel thru the Doe River Gorge.
-Favorite all-time loco- Tough question- Tie- existing engines ET&WNC #12, SR #4501. Scrapped would be Carolina & North-Western #150 or #167.
