The fuel was checked and no jet fuel was in the wing tank

The NTSB confirmed the surviving wing tank had 110 octane av gas in it and there is no evidence yet to support the wrong fuel was put into the tanks.

you can go to Duluth and see steam on the North Shore Scenic! I am a Colorado NG fan so dont have a problem with PTC interfering with steam!

Charles. Try megabass of america inc and look to the east i think. It is in the bottoms area. There is a track with a boxcar on it that has the engine on it

Fritz, I too am interested in how they move it out. Maybe take the boiler off the frame or if they have RR connections, build a track to connect temporarily.

and 3 on Grassy Pt trackage. I shot mostly video here but did stop and get 3 pics of her journey across. She went real slow and Ed did a couple of blowdowns on the West end and had the cylinder cocks open so had a lot of steam. I broke off the chase here and drove down to Andover to be with grandkid...

Over in Superior she had problems going from the Grassy Pt. track to the Coal Runner as she also did on the way in. Both ...

She had trouble in Superior with the tight turning radius off the coal main to the Grassy main so was delayed about an hour. I finally caught up with her at Rices Pt. She cut away from the train and ran light to...

I stopped by this morning and it was swamped with people. Take him to Mpls by the shop and watch her pass. Much better! I cant believe u havent found the schedule yet!

I plan on driving by as my son in law has to go to the doctor in downtown St Paul so will have free time while he is doing his procedure.
