When I was at Steamtown last Saturday, I was talking with the engineer that was running the 3254 and he said the 2317 will be out on March 7th which is tommorow. Also I checked the Steamtown March Schedule and it says that the "pullman experience" is starting tommorow and the 2317 is usually the engine that does that program. Here's the link to the Steamtown events for March. http://www.nps.gov/stea/schedule.htm Logged Nickel Plate Road "Berkshire" #759 Built: August 1944 Builder: Lima Locomotives Works Driver diameter: 69 inches Boiler Pressure: 245 Coal: 22 tons Water: 22,000 gallons Retired: 1958 Used on the famous High Iron Excursions http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/steamtown/shs2o.htm S.S.T.S. 6464 Historian   Posts: 984 Re: Engine Discussion: CP 2317   IMAG0336.jpg - 46085 Bytes « Reply #9 on: May 12th, 2005, 1:23pm » Quick-Jump   Reply w/Quote   Modify i was up there on sunday, here's what i got of the #2317 Click Image to Resize Logged West Chester Railroad www.westchesterrr.net -The Route of the Flying Turkeys!

You get a drink and a bag of chips and the park ranger tells the history behind the Pullman company and George Pullman. The ride basically goes where the short train rides go. My favorite part was getting a tour of the Lehigh Valley 353(on loan to Steamtown), which is absolutely beautiful. The car you ride in is a commuter car built in the 1950's by the Pullman Company. It is airconditioned and has the name "Good Vibrations". Overall I enjoyed the "experience" and I felt like I was back in the past riding in style. I wouldn't mind having the LV 353 and going cross country with it. Here's a link to some info about the 353 that you will have the tour in. http://www.nps.gov/stea/LV353.htm Logged Nickel Plate Road "Berkshire" #759 Built: August 1944 Builder: Lima Locomotives Works Driver diameter: 69 inches Boiler Pressure: 245 Coal: 22 tons Water: 22,000 gallons Retired: 1958 Used on the famous High Iron Excursions http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/steamtown/shs2o.htm dh7312 Railfan Posts: 188 Re: Engine Discussion: CP 2317   Scanned_Photo-1-2_edited.jpg - 278347 Bytes « Reply #18 on: May 15th, 2005, 10:36pm » Quick-Jump   Reply w/Quote   Modify 2317 FROM MONDAY   Image exceeds display size of 900 pixels wide.
