I was at home in Bremen. The tornado siren went off at 1 am and I knocked on my parent's door. We were in the basement till about 140 am.

1033s seem to be the very popular transformer of the lower Watt variety, however, my RW at 110 Watts performs beautifully and is a lesser cost item at Train shows. I think the 1033 is more popular because of the footprint. It is slightly smaller in size. don’t be afraid of buying a Lionel A, S, R, or RW, or Q .

This update has added more detailed information about the exchange between the Preston Railroad and the B&O in the late 1950's during the swan song of the Preston in 1960. I consider myself to be a rail historian with interests in the railroads of far western Maryland and Eastern West Virginia, specifically in Preston and Tucker Counties. I have interest in the railroads of northwest Pennsylvania which include the Northern Sub of the B&O railroad (1890 -- 1982) which ran from Butler up through Foxburg, Lucinda, Marienville and Kane. I also have spent some time in Essex Connecticut driving the steam locomotive that once ran on the Knox and Kane Railroad (1980 -- 2004) and crossed the Kinzua Bridge. Sloan Cornell had the locomotive #58 built by the Chinese company Tangshen delivered in 1990.

So the anchors holding the bridge to the piers cracked. Hate to say it but maybe it was good that the tornado knocked it down when nobody was going to get hurt.

They also produce a new dimple bulb with a lower wattage for more heat as well as a deeper dimple to prevent the beacon from falling off and melting the lenses.

A great presentation... I was campground host at Loleta from 1982-92.. I did notice, however, that a number of photos were pictures I took over the years. Glad to have them included in this narrative. Loleta underwent major renovations from 1992-94.The largest being the establishment of a sewage system plus a new bathhouse on the opposite side of the dam from the old bathhouse. Another major renovation was announced recently. Interestingly, one major change will be the renovation of the old bathhouse into 2 apartments that will be available for the public. My old gal, Loleta,, is getting a facelift that will last deep into this century. It will be a terrific asset to the Marienville area.

Nice history lesson about the B&O Marienville branch, the Knox and Kane Railroad, and the Kinzua Viaduct. I only rode the K&K once, in August 2003, exactly a month after the tornado destroyed the viaduct. You could only view the damage from the lookout at the south end of the viaduct. The part of the viaduct that was not destroyed by the tornado has since been reopened, with the stub end being converted into an overlook. As for the Knox and Kane Railroad, unfortunately, they were not so lucky. The railroad tracks were removed in the early 2010s, and is now a rail trail, also called the Knox & Kane. The 58 is now at the Valley Railroad in Connecticut, while the 38 is at the Everett Railroad in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She is currently stored in the Everett Railroad shops awaiting a rebuild and return to steam. The Everett Railroad does have an operating steam locomotive, however. They recently restored former Bath & Hammondsport No. 11 to service, and she pulls occasional excursions during the year.

Great video, also while it’s a shame the K&K no longer exists at least the memories and videos of it exist so people know about it. And I’m pretty sure Mr. Cornell was happy that he at least got to have his dream come true when it lasted.

Sloan Cornell was the owner and founder of the Knox and Kane Railroad. Prior he owned the Gettysburg Railroad and his initial was a tourist railroad on his farm. He was a great visionary to have connected his railroad in Mt Jewett to the Kinzua Bridge. It was a very popular tourist attraction. Once the bridge was destroyed in 2003 the trains could only come up to the edge of the damaged bridge. Revenues plummeted and the trains stopped in 2004. In my opinion the Knox and Kane RR was coming to an end anyway. The B&O had maintained the 49 miles of track well when the sold it to Mr Cornell. Mr Cornell did not have the money to maintain that much track. But after more than 20 years without maintained the ties were deteriorating and trains were beginning to derail. This was true down around Shippenville when Mr Cornell was trying to haul freight. The other Major factor was the this was a late in life effort by Mr. Cornell. There was no one to take over. His son had been badly injured in a boiler explosion when he was an engineer on the Getty. I don't have the facts on this. At some point latter Mr. Cornell was involved in an auto accident. But I don't know much about this either. It could be viewed as bad luck when the prized locomotive, No. 58 was severely damaged in an arson fire in Kane. But a number of positive things came out of this. No. 58 was bought by a railroad in New England and after a three year effort was fully restored. I have had the privilege's of engineer it for an hour in 2012. A remnant of the bridge has become the Sky Walk a wonder tourist attraction the allow the tourists to come out to the center of the Kinzua Valley and look at the beautiful forest. In the fall the colors of the trees are spectacular. The Knox and Kane is becoming a scenic recreational trail when the track was removed. While only parts have been finished there are sections of it that have been well developed The segment from Lantz Corner to the Kinzua bridge is a beauty ride with an exceptional developed trail built with TNC by a group of enthusiastic volunteers who live around My Jewett.

The Valley RR gave the Mikado what appears to be a new tender, or else drastically rebuilt the existing tender. It was lettered for the New Haven RR as they operate over a former New Haven branch line. The number is a tribute to a group of New Haven Mikados that were in that numbering series. By the way, a portion of this line was used in the filming of the 1958 comedy "It Happened to Jane", starring Doris Day and Jack Lemmon and a New Haven Mikado (subsequently scrapped). The Valley RR previously owned another identical SY Mikado, I think its number was 1647, and later sold to the Susquehanna RR.
