In 1960, at age 5, my brother stood on the left top step of the "cow catcher" and was photographed by our mother... Nine years later, at age 5, I stood on that same step and was photographed by her using the same camera. In 2009, some forty years later, I took a picture of my 5 year old son standing on that same step. So... Once she's rolling under her own power again, my son and I will ride on her together... My brother will be there in spirit, as he is no longer with us. That big locomotive with the yellow stripe means a lot to our family...

You guys are halfway there! Keep up the great work!

Can't wait to see her steaming

Let's keep the restoration rolling!

Cool 😎

I'm so happy there's still people that care about these amazing trains and restore them back to there former glory

Я счастлив, что паровозы продолжают восстанавливать!!! Привет из России!!!

Can't wait to see her running. Outfit her with PTC if'n y'all can so she can run mainline excursions on NS and possibly CSX. Maybe even BNSF if'n y'all find a way to do that.

An old wall come out of like that deserves to be in the history, Museum not rotting away in the scrapyard

They're now putting the locomotive back together again and taking her on test runs. They're almost done with restoration of NC&StL #576.

Steam locomotives that are old should not be rotting and rusting in a scrap yard. They should be in museums.

Any new updates on the 576?

Delighted Thanks 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

Super. 💙 T.E.N.
