The SF 2926 locomotive has been on a siding about a mile from our home under restoration for the fourteen years that we have lived in Albuquerque. I have visited the site many times, but on this Saturday there was a special open house to mark the completion of the project. All that is left to do now is to get through the bureaucratic processes to get onto the tracks.
There was free food and free drinks for the whole crowd that showed up, along with a brass band and a jazz group for entertainment, and plenty of memorabilia for sale including posters, books and t-shirts.
The SF 2926 sat rusting in a city park for many years, but now it looks much as it did when it was carrying freight all over the country.
