Never before seen footage of American Freedom Train #1's move from the B&O Museum's front yard to the restoration shop. No where else will you see this footage. See the move from different perspectives: the cab of Conrail 8905, inside the restoration shop limits, and on the ground as the wheels turn for the first time in 30 years.

We moved the U.P. 4017 BIG BOY in April 1987 at the NRRM in GBW, with a CNW GP7, but 4017 derailed the 4 middle drivers next to the middle cylinders on the fireman's side-left-South, in front of the McCormick Pavillion. And 4017 was painted with bright 🌞 YELLOW primer paint 🎨 💛!!! 4017 was being moved over old light rails and old crossties. Then CNW returned in 5 days to help re-rail with 2 of the GP7'S and a 50 foot gondola as a spacer. Finally after nearly 3 hours of Intense labor by using wooden blocking 4017 was back on top!! This story was in both local newspapers 📰 in Press GAZETTE and News Chronicle. 4017 was shoved backwards 500 feet away to the new display track but built Outside the north wall of the Pavillion and 4017 was finally painted black and silver. But only 2 years later after exposure to severe Wisconsin Winters the paint was ruined and their plans wanted to build a new roof extension over the track that also had DMIR 506 2-10-2; And Milwaukee road 261 4-8-4 Northern. But not until 2001 was the newest building constructed when 4017 was shoved on the new track 2 then parked next to the British A4 60008 Eisenhower, and Prr 4690 GG1 ELECTRIC that was ironically traded to Your Baltimore rr museum in trade for the old F.M. H-10-44 1201from Milwaukee Road And the old WICT SHORTLINE. Because NRRM got 2 of the H1044 switchers with 1200 running then repainted as 767 to represent the old G.B. Alley track on the East shore of the Fox River and running through the famous H.C. PRANGE DEPARTMENT STORE 🏬 and over the East River to the many paper factories. But F.M. 767 broke down with some kind of wheel problems but the NRRM won't say Why because the manager from 1993 was rude and got fired in 1996, but leaving behind a lot of misinformation that caused confusion and errors....but since 1996 there have been 10 different managers but changed nearly every 3 to 6 years!! Each new manager arrives with New Plans that get Canceled....and also ripping apart the plans from previous managers. These changes even affected the H.O. Scale model rr club that built their layout in the HOOD Junction Station since 1989....SADLY the Club was Forcefully Evicted and Terminated in 2008 because that Mgr in 2008 wanted to built the children's discovery depot, Then he was also fired in 2008!! These actions also Terminated the N.R.H.S. Local Northwoods chapter. The loyal volunteers restoring the narrow guage SHAY 5 were also removed....but Shay 5 pieces are just scattered haphazardly around the museum site. But the live steamers club was trying to rebuild the mini 20th century Ltd 4-6-4 Hudson, but they were physically chased put the front gate!!!!! GBW 315 ALCO C430 was donated in July 1987 with new red paint....but sitting outside for the past 37 years has turned 315 into an ugly rusted eyesore!!!!! AND MANY OTHER PIECES!!!!! Thus even the NRRM in GBW desperately needs help please!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE 🙏 😊!!!!! ..GOD BLESS ✝️ 🙌 AMERICA 🇺🇸 ❤ 💙!!!!! OK.TH.NOV.30.2023A.D.
