Now, if CSX would just do like the like the UP, and get 1604 out of the museum, and rebuild it for mainline excursions! Congrats on this one guys, it looks great, even in WM markings! What's that squeaking noise those?

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

I've been trying to figure that out since the new years steam up. something the crew has looked into and thought it was okay....

[@hawkeyeten2450]

Honestly, 1601 up in Michigan would probably be better to restore. It's been inside protected from the elements for the last 60 years and the B&O Museum already gave up one big C&O steamer with WM purchasing 1309. But,1604 is definitely available if they went that route.

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

@@hawkeyeten2450 Would it be the best for the WM though? will it pull bigger trains without a helper? Will they get the money out of it? They're reason why 1309 was picked over some other engines.
