[@christianromo8444]

Can't wait to see them return to operation.

[@noahthetrainguy]

I think you forgot about Western Maryland 734 being restored to operation

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

I announced that a while ago.

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video and railfan update

[@Mountaindivisionrailfan252]

Clarks Trading Post climax locomotive is ready to be put into service after a new drive shaft and rebuilt components on the front truck

[@kyletroknya2419]

982 is the highlight for me this week.

[@Nighttime-Challenger]

Glad to see those bi levels got saved they've been doing nothing at Hocking for several years now

[@uniontrains.8631]

Not gonna happen but i wish ATSF 3415 ran on tracks that would allow her to stretch her legs, even for a bit.

[@LehighLollipop503]

I believe that the A&SV is working on rebuilding their track, so 3415 can go faster.

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

That’s right. With the help of American Heritage Railways

[@regularguy7266]

​@TranscontinentalRailfan yep, there's a lot they can do. I think they might try to restore the line from Enterprise to Herington, Kansas, as that was previously a Rock Island line abandoned. And, if, IF they want to go crazy, they can expand the line even further by restoring a lot of the old Missouri Pacific Rail lines east of Herington, OR go west of Abiliene and restore a lot of the Sante Fe line to Salina, Kansas, and beyond. The only problem for the two latter lines is if they were converted to trails, but we would have to wait and see.

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

Whenever an update on no. 401 is present, I promise to announce it.

[@offtherails77]

I’m gonna see 4014 this year (hopefully)

[@JonathanColemanMoreTrains]

If you get time next week you can look up trains magazine, go to news & reviews, news wire and you will see a picture of the blue diesel locomotive and I want you to think to yourself about this one and I will give you updates on it

[@TranscontinentalRailfan]

Will be in the next episode for sure
