Beautiful pacific locos...cant wait till they have them both done!
Nice story.
I wonder if #1504 will keep its ACL markings. I hope so.

My guess is it will keep the number but be lettered for US Sugar.

I have to get down to FL to see this!! I saw 148 live in 1975 when it pulled an excursion on the CNJ.
As I understand it, #1504 is the only USRA Light Pacific in existence.
After living in Florida for 8 years. I can't imagine being in that hot cab from March through November.
It is cool they are doing this though. Looking forward to more videos.
Beautiful video, looks like it has the Kelly touch!

I do prefer that the work speak for itself 
Thanks, Ed.
Glad to see #1504 will be given new life. Funny story: I started working in Jacksonville in August and saw the engine on my drive in from the freeway. I figured I'd swing by at the end of the week to check her out, but then poof -- she was gone before the end of the week!
I generally prefer earlier steam but gosh, 148 is just a gorgeous engine.
