The Museum's Northern Pacific Railway steam locomotive 924 made a brief public appearance while testing earlier this month. The 1899-built Rogers 0-6-0 has been undergoing rehabilitation and restoration for five years in the Museum's Conservation and Restoration Workshop. An earlier blog post shared some highlights of the two hour session, but today this blog features a few moving pictures of this milestone event. This video shows some rare views from inside the cab, which are particularly clear because the roof of the cab had not yet been added. The new boiler jacketing is also visible, which was applied from the outset to protect the safety of the cab crew.
This author is also pleased to share news that the 924 will make another public appearance this fall - all aboard!
