Commentary about volunteering to overhaul the 200 hp LeRoi engine in a Whitcomb switch locomotive for a non profit museum. I got it running in 2009. TitanX Donated a new radiator core in 2011. Plymouth locomotive arrives 2014.

Christmas 2009
I enjoy volunteering at the LSRHS museum. I get a sense of accomplishment fixing something on the critter. Many days you can smell the grape jelly cooking at Welches. The excitement of a train coming. You can hear the diesel horns sounding the crossings far away. Seeing the signal bridge light up, and listening to the dispatcher crackling on the PA. The rumble of the NS local delivering tank cars to Welches. Come and visit.
P.S. There is a fund to replace the radiator on the Whitcomb.
