Wow. It'd be something if they could dig out that locomotive.

I agree, but it sounds like the city fathers want to keep it buried.Jawn wrote:Wow. It'd be something if they could dig out that locomotive.
It should be interesting to follow and see what happens.

About as interesting as watching a glacier melt.
I say it that way because the gears of law and order move slowly, and there must be some that know the history of a hard artifact like the locomotive has historical significance, as many real details are lost to time, irrespective of the written history saved. I think the game is afoot to remove our impetuous entrepreneur from the game, and take control of the site and its relics for similar purposes.
I wish him luck in his persuits. It is said that well controlled people do not make history. Maybe its time to shake up that part of the system.
IMHO, A railroad engine of that era is a very rare find, and should be brought to the light of day. whatever the condition. It could easily be the core of a museum on the subject.

We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart. My computer beat me at chess, but not kickboxing
It is not getting caught in the rain, its learning to dance in it. People saying good morning, should have to prove it.

Nobody seems surprised that a locomotive was considered useless after a little over a decade of use! I guess we should be glad they don't build them like they used to.
So much for old iron!
