Kenny's engine on the factory test track before being delivered. Note that people are riding where the propane tanks should be. They didn't need much fuel on a track that was maybe 700 feet long. I love seeing the old pictures of the crown locomotives. makes me smile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimv1972 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Just a note that today the Williams family posted four more pics of #12 being tested in Pennsylvania prior to delivery. Check out the Crown Locomotives Facebook site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumforceMike Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 photo of CP&LE #44 aka Judy K idling at frontiertown at night on the 7th of August, 2021. I needed a reason to post this because I found out at the start of of March that I will be a fireman on the Cedar Point & Lake Erie railroad. I go for my on-boarding appointment on the 30th of April. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are replacing the skeletons FD with real people? In all seriousness, the train needs its own firefighters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefighters no, but firemen yes! Fireman is the person who controls the amount of steam generated for the locomotive. They’re the ones who would feed the fire, and add water to create steam. It’s a delicate act but also very important one, not enough water could lead to the locomotive going caboom! Depending on what fuels the fire, it can be labor intensive position as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimv1972 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just posted by Cassandra Williams on the Crown Locomotives website: an "in the factory" pic of KI&MV #12. The only thing that distinguishes it from Lakeside #17 is the "normal" Crown dome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
