Chesapeake & Ohio 2716 Inside the Shop for the First Time

[@KentuckySteam]

Kentucky Steam would like to thank CSX, RJ Corman Railroad Group, the Estill County Development Alliance, the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum, the Kentucky Railway Museum, our community leaders, and all of our volunteers and donors for helping make this dream a reality.

I love this old engine, hope they don't do what I heard that they up did with 4014 which is the diesel is pushing it it's not running all the way they say it has been running piped specifically to the whistle and a couple of owls if you really listen to 4014 you can't hear chugging sound I really want to hear 4014 run on its own power but anyway can't wait to hear 27/16 run again anyway thanks

[@stevew270]

And talk RJ Corman Co. into getting 2008 back up and running again.

[@maumelleweather5195]

@@gregbates703 The diesel was there in case something went wrong with the 4014, and wouldn't tie up a busy mainline. Also, those diesel behind 4014 was in full dynamic braking pretty much the whole time, acting as a load for the 4014. The 4014 didn't even know it was there. Give Ed and crew a chance to break the locomotive in properly, and then they will tie on about 7000 tons of cars to her drawbar and let her do some real talking.

[@ericoxner326]

Sir if you do not mind me asking.What was wrong with the locomotive because it was part of the southern steam program.You see I a guy who loves trains.Went to a school real close by the Seaboard Coast Line.Yes its the Seaboard Air Line my home town good old monroe n.c.Still has a yard but also had a round house.I would see 6 and some times 7 gp9 and gp7.I even saw some wooden boxcars and gon with steel braced.I heard different things about the locomotive.Like big problems to hey they could have fixed that there were just lazy.One more thing I also collect o gauge trains.I have a few berkshire types.I have a lionel tmcc berkshire with the lower head light.Its not-- Hey take a look for your self kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHq7lpewns6IhaM enjoy!

Happy to see her inside, not to mention 587 is keeping her company, hopefully the two will be hurting down the tracks together across Kentucky and other areas of the. Thank you Kentucky Steam

[@atsfevan0242]

Hopefully she'll be steaming again in a year or 2 again

[@b3j8]

So, three Kentucky scrap dealers gave this a thumbs down I guess. Saw 2716 run before. Beautiful engine that's deserves to be out there showing what she can do!

[@shadowraith1]

Looking forward to updates on how the restoration of C&O 2716 goes. Externally she looks pretty well.👍🚂🚂🚂👍

[@billmoran3812]

I knew Bill Purdy. He was the ultimate railroader and a great guy. I understand his son is involved with the restoration and return to operation of the N&W 611. I’m sure Bill would be thrilled to see 2716 return to steam.

[@400exNick]

Nice to see CSX involved in steam and paying attention to their heritage

[@blairterry9435]

Yeah. But I'm starting to wonder about why they put their logo on the tender instead of putting Chesapeake & Ohio on it?

[@awesomeaustin5704]

She's home at last And 587 definately needed the company XD

[@atsfevan0242]

Yep she does she was nearly scrapped last year and thank god thanks to the Kentucky steam heritage corporation she's being taken care of until she's ready to run again and head back to Indiana

[@NERRP2017]

When 800 shoved 2716, it looked kinda like it was under its own power, it’s sad To see a massive steamer being restored I had the sad, happy feeling when 4014 ran its first 2019 test run and the up 3 Chime ran through the valley This is awesome, Kentucky steam Corp, BRING BACK 2716, Kudos to a good run 800 and 2716 and the c and o caboose.

[@brantfurr986]

I’m enjoying the journey of 2716 so much. Can’t wait for the chance to see it! Not only would I like to thank your organization for the work you’re doing to preserve a piece of history, but thank your media team. They are doing such a great job of documenting the entire process. It’s really fascinating. But if you all were ever in the mood to give us an in depth on Clinchfield 800, I would definitely watch that! I know it isn’t steam, but it’s old, and has been a part of 2716’s journey, and I’d love to hear 800’s story. Thanks! Be safe everyone.

[@maxm2317]

I’ll be very honest here. When 2716 was poking out the other end of the shop, I got just a little bit misty-eyed.

[@ShawnC.W-King]

Beautiful Beasts do my heart so happily to see Steam like 2716 ♥️

It’s awesome that the facility is reconnected to the North American rail system again. Wishing all of you the highest success possible

[@jimpowell1802]

Jason, Great explanation of the straight wheels in a curve dynamics.

[@FutureRailProductions]

Bill Purdie's idea to illuminate each wheel is brilliant. Kind of like the ground lights with the Big Boy.

[@rwhb1]

Keep going guys. In the U.K. we have steam out on the main line nearly every weekend hauling people and earning money. It’s the way forward.

[@kylethedalek]

2716 is beautiful, 800 is no slouch, either. Some of those older diesels are quite beautiful. I’m not from those parts but I remember Clinchfield from a book that had a nice N scale layout based on that railroad. I always wanted to build that one, nice part of the country. Good luck with 2716!

[@Greatdome99]

Don't suppose any of you Easterners know that Clinchfield's F3 color scheme is an EXACT copy of Spokane, Portland and Seattle's F3s (both numbered 800, too) right down to the yellow nose treatment and side striping. The one exception was that SP&S's carbody was Pullman Green instead of tell-tale gray. SP&S got theirs (for psgr service) in 1947, CRRs a year later.

[@kgirl4078]

This is a beautiful steam locomotive, can’t wait to see it coming up to northern Virginia some day :-))

[@NotMattyDYT]

I guess CSX listened and actually has a steam engine now

[@DUBMANS]

Well I guess so being that UP has the 4014 and 844, and 3985 in the shops. NS I guess has the 765, 611, and possibly 1225? CSX now has 2716. BNSF, CN, and CP don't know what they have.

[@blairterry9435]

Maybe. I wonder if CSX might actually have the solution to Amtrak's policy on excursion Trains. You would need your own passenger car fleet along with dome cars for the New River Trips in the fall. CSX might need to use their passenger cars just like UP.

[@jessdatheturdle6602]

Four(4) of these K-4 Class Kanawha's have moved during the past two years since 2018, of the 13 left, from 90 built. 2716 here moved into the Raveena Shops. 2700 is the Original Prototype from 1941 moved in Dennison Ohio. Then 2727 was switched in Union at the Illinois Railway Museum with the Frisco 1630 2-10-0,see utube. Then 2789 is the very last of the 90 and moved at North Judson with a G.E. 70 Tonner. Are there any more that moved? But some are stuck in city parks. But 2736 here in gbw has not moved since 2001 and is parked behind AT&SF 5017 2-10-4-Texas class. 2736 was last sandblasted in 1985 and base coated with Brown primer then spray painted black, but now it is Very Dusty.
