Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. Well done! 30 years ago I saw the engine when it was on display in Everett. Congrats on a fine restoration job!!
The Everett RR ran 3 sold-out "Return to Steam" specials from Hollidaysburg to Brookes Mills, yesterday, 11/7/2015. Dozens of enthusiasts also chased at least 1 of the 3 runs. While the weather was cloudy/cold for the first 2 runs, the sun broke through for the 3:00 run, which made everybody happy.

Daughter that lives in Roanoke, Va. bought tickets for the whole family to ride the train when they come for Thanksgiving. Thought I'd never see steam in this neck of the woods again. I have memories of the original Everett RR as a kid. Looking forward to the ride.

She's came along way, baby!
Some photos when she was at the WMSRR.
I had high hopes at one time we would see
her run a double or two with 734 when done.
What a sweet little locomotive. In the videos,
I don't know how to say this, she looks like
she runs "free and easy" you know, as if
everything is set up to perfection. Also,
I love the "chuff"and her whistle. Would
that be a Baldwin three chime?

The whole Everett operation is professional, the restoration of the combine was also well-done and it was a comfortable car to ride.
One thing the WMSR could take a note from was the separate building for restrooms at the Hollidaysburg station, something that is badly needed at Frostburg, IMO.
I would like to say that the above post with photos/videos took over 3 hours to prepare and post. Seems strange that I can't get any "likes".
The Hollidaysburg yard had another surprise I will post on Wednesday.
I like it, I like it, I like it a lot. Please post more about the No. 11 and her roots.
