Steam Locomotives and Such.

If they ran the 4014 on LP my buddy Dean would be out of a job!

Someone has to deliver LP still.

In the words of my 2 year old. Boom crash boom!

the corporate cuts and restructuring doesnt look like it has had an impact on the steam shop. thats good because the rest of the system has been hammered

I should hopefully catch it down by the house in Desoto. Where it is gonna stop in STL has no parking for miles to handle the crowds.

Make sure to hook up with Dean from Wayne Transport who supplies the fuel for the 4014. He always has plenty of swag in his pocket to hand out!

Awesome! Sadly, our railways usually get bulldozed ASAP and never come back.

Yes most of them are the same over here but luckily this railway are being backed by some rich steam enthusiasts

First picture is my grandpa on my great Grandpas steam engine on the sawmill. Sawmill is still on the farm, needs to be moved and reset. Second picture is an article from approx 1968. Just met a guy last week at a show who had the article and knows the guy who now owns my great Grandpas steam engine. Was talking to him about an engine that my dad's engine club had acquired. I was recruited to help get it up to running condition and operate it. It is the same Minneapolis 20hp but two years newer than my my great Grandpas. So either tomorrow I should see Grandpas engine at a local show, or next weekend it should be at the Baraboo WI show. Dad didn't know where the engine was until last weekend. He is looking forward to seeing it again. I am too

When I was a kid in the early 80's there was a steam powered tractor still working on a farm near my grandparents. I'll have to ask my mom if she knew anything about the people who owned it.

That's a very cool article. I'm from Sparta where I still reside. I've been to a few antique engine shows and I have relation that used to own and run these many years ago in the antique engine club. I was too young to remember what models they were but the thunderous beat of a steam engine is not forgettable. Neat to see this pop up on OPE.

I'm from Cashton. Saturday I talked to the guy who owned after the guy in the newspaper clipping. He sold it to the current owner. It will be in Baraboo this weekend, going to see him Saturday. The current owner is restoring a steam locomotive currently.
