Dad took this pic of my big-bro and I.

On edit: "A technician charged with determining the cause of frequent poppet valve failures on the T1s claimed to have observed them being operated at speeds of up to 140 mph (225 km/h) to make up time." Wikipedia.

Moscow, Camden & St. Augustine #6 at the Texas Transportation Museum with two Heavyweights (Santa Fe Business Obs #404 and Pullman 12-1 "McKeever") in tow. Probably may never steam again. Photo taken by me in October of 2018.

Southern Pacific (Texas & New Orleans) Mk-5 #794 at Sunset Station. Photo also by me, taken September of 2018. Has a possible chance of steam. Little did I know at the time I took the photo the King (4014) would grace his presence on those tracks on the side nearly a year later

P.S. Does anyone know if there any updates on the current status of the 786's restoration?
