You don't say! Mostly just lies about what's goin on but for some news stations that likes Donald Trump for 2024 presidential election. If he does wins by Nov. 5th. I'll be checking out your channel later.

Yes NKP 765 and NYC 3001 are the excursion stars.

[@thereptilianrailfans6495]

We need c&o 614 to come back and be an excursion star again Same with L&N 152 and c&o 2716

It’s great that New York Central 3001 (Built by American Locomotive Company in October 1940) is finally getting the chance of returning to operation again after it last operated back 67 years ago in February 14th 1957.

[@aaron-prime117]

I can’t believe I never was able to piece together that since seen the Facebook post of the Fort Wayne historical Society acquiring a set of New York Central passenger coaches that they were also thinking of bringing back a New York central steam locomotive that one of the streamlined diesel units would’ve came first to see 3001 coming back under their ownership is so amazing

[@trainsandsirensofilinmiwi2080]

YES!!!

[@braydentoth8442]

Wonderful news for all fans of historic preservation

[@Robertmitchell2121]

AMAZING

[@billjohnson-lx4vi]

That's cool

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome !

[@garryferrington811]

This looks promising. It's looked for decades as if this engine would just rust away. To think it's possible - just possible - it might come back to life, is wonderful, even if I won't be here to see it.

[@railmediaproductions3677]

This is fantastic news. It will be great to see the loco running under its own steam.

[@brianfalzon6739]

3001 will be joining alongside 765 in the future!

[@GhostlywandererofAmericanrailr]

Just absolute RESPECT.

Stupid…..

[@presley985]

Looks like the Pennsylvania railroad trust fund has competition, but I support both. I have a feeling the T1 will be done quicker than this one, but it depends because this thing is already built. They just need to refurbish it.😊

[@Bragbigfoot_2]

I wish that in the future someone could rebuild a NYC locomotive

[@chooch1764]

The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society WILL rebuild New York Central 3001. Rebuild means restoration.

[@Bragbigfoot_2]

​@@chooch1764 no, i mean like rebuilding a Hudson or a Niagara or these tipe of engines, i'm not saying that they should do it but like what they're doing with the T1

[@chooch1764]

@@Bragbigfoot_2 Sorry, but your comment is confusing. If you want to see a Hudson or a Niagara newly built, then start a campaign for one of them then.

I just said that i wish it could be possible

[@jackjr.sparrow3668]

Guess big boys testing with the new tech that requires zero assistance from diesel took off. Which is good. Since we save labor on maintenance on diesel. Too many diesel’s for one train while one single steam engine to pull one train. Less labor to maintain since only one is being used.

[@1chuck96]

Good Luck with that ya'll...You're SERIOUSLY 'gonna need it ! Way too many rebuilds and nowhere to run 'em.

[@chooch1764]

Oh no! It’s the “man” who always THINKS he knows what he is talking about. The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society is way ahead of you. They will operate this engine on the Indiana & Northeastern Railroad, where 765 currently operates. Do some research before you speak…

[@e-train765]

We're running at track speed on the Water Level Route with this one!!!! 🚂🚃
