K&L Is just great isn't it?
Hey Louisville is my Hometown.
Louisville Kentucky that is.
NKP 765 and C&O 2716 prepare for an Excursion through the Eastern Kentucky Countryside.
Here we see the dynamic duo crossing a Bridge as they approach Typo.
The Two make a stop at the old Typo depot as 2716 had a Blocked Injector, This provides an Opportunity for photos.
The two are soon thundering through the Kentucky hills again.
They Finish their excursion later that night.

Nice shots! Wouldn't that be great if 2716 was restored and they did that??
Yep.
2716 was restored back in the 80's for Southern's steam program, which is when the Southern made it appear as a Southern steamer, then KRM leased it to the FWRHS while 765 was down for its rebuild. In 1996 the FWRHS Had restored it to its C&O Appearance to run excursions for them, then in 2001 it was returned to the KRM, and placed under a shelter, where it remains today. She is a very possible candidate for restoration, but the KRM doesn't have the money optima or need for an engine that big, they have their hands full with the 100 year old 152.
There are So Many Berks and Kanawhas left that 2716 could easily be restored, I just hope CSX becomes a little more open to steam once they see the Success of NS and BNSF and UP... Because the amount of historical and scenic routes they have would be Ideal for steam excursions. The last steam to run on CSX was UP 3985 for the Santa train, dressed as a Clinchfield loco.

Union Pacific 2985? I didn't know that a Union Pacific locomotive with the number 2985 was used on CSX's Santa Train.
