From: "Ted Lemen" hi_jeanx -AT- yahoo -DOT- com Date: Sun Aug 29 22:16:52 2010 Subject: Just after leaving Louisville KY en route E. St. Louis on Southern's line across Southern Indiana in January,1968--while we waited in a siding for a clear track, another freight at low speed split an iced switch and hit the front loco on our consist, which included an F unit just ahead of our loaded locomotive. It was hours before the tracks were cleared of seven or eight cars that had toppled off the track when the jolt came. Had it been at high speed, the wreck might have altered the weekend of September 18-19, 2010, which the Monticello Railway Museum has now posted on its website as the official debut weekend for Southern Railway No. 401. image/jpeg, 1277x844 (24bit) 401LoadedInWreck.jpg 146995 bytes |

Is that a smile I detect on the smokebox front from this locomotive, which will likely return to service during Deptember 1020? image/jpeg, 900x1199 (24bit) 401SmileyFace001.jpg 109581 bytes |

From: "Ted Lemen" hi_jeanx -AT- yahoo -DOT- com Date: Fri Aug 27 15:09:25 2010 Subject: The front deck plate was plasma cut at Heritage Machine Shop in Bloomington IL to fit around the braces and the upper end of the front truck suspension, which slides up and down as the engine go into a curve, somehow adjusting the distribution of weight through a complicated levers and fulcrums (or so I was told). image/jpeg, 1230x878 (24bit) FrontDeck001.jpg 178521 bytes |
