K4 1361 October 25 1987

The last run of 1361 in 1987. A few track side shots with a couple of good slips.

Some of the best days of my life were spent working on 1361. Met a lot of great people and made a ton of great memories

[@jamesmccann1097]

That is so true my friend.

[@wjmg2]

i would love to see 1361 run again, and 7002, and 1223

[@tomyrail7468]

1361 is being restored rn. but 1223 and 7002 may not because of the thin sheet and the railroad musesm of penn would not like it and "perserved" the history

[@brianfalzon6739]

Don’t forget the new PRR T1 5550 and LIRR G5 39!

[@Strasburg1991]

i hope 1361 sees another chance of life. if the LI g5 is fixable and repairable. k4 should have no problem

[@jamesmccann1097]

Do you know what the status is with G5?

[@Strasburg1991]

Awaiting 700K

[@jamesmccann1097]

Strasburg1991 With enough money you can fix anything. I knew an old engineer from Amtrak who started as a Fireman on the PRR. He said that the G 5s fired easy and rode better than the K 4. Is the G 5 at Strasburg now.

Fora 48 year lease yes

For my 20th birthday on the 20th, before I blow out the candles, my wish is gonna be "Bring back 1361!"

[@jamesmccann1097]

Well Richard talking with some friends up in the Altoona area progress is being made and work on 1361 is moving forward!

[@brianfalzon6739]

James McCann Hope it goes forward! Hope 1361 gets put back together too!

[@NickelPlateRoad779]

James McCann What's been done to the 1361 so far?

[@jamesmccann1097]

NickelPlateRoad779 From what I have heard they've hired an outside concern to finish the boiler work. When I get a chance to talk with some friends up there I'll find out where they are with that.

[@NickelPlateRoad779]

Well that's definitely a good place to start. here's hoping it won't be long till the 1361 graces the rails once more :)
