The 611 represents some of the finest in steam locomotive engineering. I just missed seeing her many years ago in Bellevue, Ohio. Now that she's being fully restored presents another opportunity to see her ate her best.
As for the UP 4014......fantastic. I have a good friend who is one of the "Young Guns of Steam" in the US. He's the Chief Mechanical Officer at the Heber Valley Railroad in Heber City, UT. He's been assisting the UP guys on the 40214, AND has been contacted by the T-1 Trust, ( https://prrt1steamlocomotivetrust.org/ ) a group who is moving forward on building a brand new PRR T-1, from scratch! These are exciting times for steam locomotive preservation. Now, if we could only get the PRR K4, 1361, back together
