[nathanphillips]

My grandfather C.W., "Bud"Phillips was one of the engineers that drove 2101 as the Chessie steam special. He worked for Chessie for 47 years

and the 2101 rusts away with no care done to it

[JawTooth]

I remember when that happened. I had just rode the Chessie steam Special shortly before that. I rode behind her from Cincinnati to Chillicothe Ohio and back. That was a great trip and I have pictures that I took

[Thunderbolt__Siren]

I talked to Ross Rowland about this, Apparently the roundhouse fire was caused by an electrical short but some claims state it was arson.

First-class recording, I like excellent,
very good work, great !

[mikado]

Keep in mind that multiple D&S locomotives were caught in a roundhouse fire around 1989 and all were rebuilt and placed back into service.

Just because it was in a fire does not mean it can't be rebuilt

[jeffreymcfadden]

It was arson. I have photos here and the remains were still smoldering.

[Wall-E-wy]

Kentucky roundhouse? I thought that’s what Dalton did In Roadhouse 😂😂❤

[Camaro_man]

Built by fire, almost died by fire. Ironic

[nicholasjennings]

Just so that everyone know, That the warnington ohio railroad museum It's in trouble all their trains are in dire need of help.

[Doveproductions]

Would have been cool if they mechanically restored it but left the exterior and did like a haunted train excursion

[braxtonmathews]

He says the sheds ended multiple heritage locks but later said only one had ended

[jack.stawasz]

What program do you use to make your shorts? They look awesome.

[alanwright]

Wow! 😮

I had never heard about this! What a shame. 😢

[Fproductions]

What happened to the other engines stored in the round house?

[James-Railyard]

They did find the 2101 was restorable but decided not to and then switch for the 614.

[memesontiktok]

Alright boys group up, let's go find this guy.

[SACWarriors]

Maybe in Eastern US, but Union Pacific has now renewed 3 steam locks! 844, 3985, and the News Engine, the Challenger 4014! A HUGE ENGINE! GOOD LUCK IN RESTORATION OF ANY STEAM ENGINE! I HOPE THAT THEY RUN INTO THE 22nd Century! I WANT my great great grand Children to see the Durango & Silverton, Cumberland Road, and in New Mexico and other steam systems across the states anywhere they run! Enjoy, contribute cash if you can't pick u p a wrench or scrape some paint, or brush the rust off! History controls the innovation and history of the United States...Same goes with Airplanes. Electricity is a slaying and battery our economy! No electricity for another 100 years! > Technology not ready yet!

I thought the FRA was the steam excursion killer

[brycehill]

Eh. Insurance and bureaucracy have killed more excursion stars than any fire.
