Folks, I think the addition of the Coronet #9 to the collection makes 30 steam locomotives. A tie with the Museum of Transport for the largest number of steamers at an American museum. Nice work folks! Ted Miles, IRM Member

I believe we have 27, with the recent deaccession of "Cletus" (Lee Tidewater Cyprus 2-6-0 #18). I know a few of the engines aren't on the online roster.

Does the Tuskegee 101 operate

No it does not. As of now we are working on Maintaing the operation of Frisco 1630, completing J. Neils 5, and continue UP 428's restoration.

It did operate for a while up into the early 90's (I think), but restoration has stalled. and with Shay 5, 428, and 1630, it's not going to operate for some time.

It needs a lot of work and is currently not in the shop at this time. The 3 engines that we are either restoring or maintaining are 1630, 428, and Shay 5 at this time. Maybe further along the line it will be re-evaluated and considered.
