C&NW 1385

S SWANKOOGR Forum Member

So I'm watching today's Trains and locomotives episode on RFD - the circus train being pulled all over

using Chicago and North Western 1385 with some diesel helpers.  Hmmmmmmmmm - wonder where

1385 is now?  Google - ka-bing!  Link to web site - ka-bing! Restoration under way - drivers being

done at Strasburg.  I still remember having to use the library and the good old encyclopedias in hopes

of finding out the answer to a question - and we were lucky if we got the answer in days, if at all. 

Thank you Google.

A magnificent, noble and a real "loud talker" of a locomotive. Will never forget her shouting out of Waukegan, IL on the 1982 "Prosperity Special", with her exhaust bouncing off buildings and the shoreline bluffs!    Hope after the rebuild, she isn't tamed into a docile puffer! I look forward to her return to service. Glacier Park did a near perfect O Scale model of her a few years back!
