This is one of my favorite segments in our series. It shows the power of volunteers of all ages coming together to preserve and present a little slice of this countries great steam road road legacy. One of my favoriate characters is 90 plus year old Harold Borovec. Also enjoyed presenting the Father and Daughter relationship of Rikki and Rick Burchett. Hope you enjoy this peices as much as I did producing it.

Harold Borovec is sadly no longer with us. He was beloved in the preservation community, may he continue to chug along, where ever he is.

We are working daily on the repairs to the Firebox. YES, it will come back. We need to raise $150,000 to reline the firebox. That plus about 6 more months of labor, will get our beloved #15 back on the route! The Chehalis Centralia Railroad just purchased 10.5 miles of track to run the excursions, now being pulled by USN #6 diesel.

It's amazing how a steam engine was sitting in a park for many years, and then it's riding the rails again.

Fantastic old Steam Locomotive. Always love seeing these being restored and ran. But one correction. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Bryson City NC also runs a great dinner train pulled by 1702. It runs on the Murphy Branch from Dillsboro to Bryson City then to Nantahala. The train wreck scene from the Fugitive movie was filmed on this line.
