That is a great set.
I have found that if you talk to the people and they know that you are more than just a visitor but a real rail fan they are more likely to let you go places and see things.
I appreciate you posting these for us.

When National Tube closed it devastated that area.
It's amazing how much one company going south
can effect a whole city or town.
When the Rockford screw company went under the entire city of Rockford went into a depression for years.
They say Pittsburgh has snapped back now, but most of
the wages are not even close to what they were.
Mostly high tech work with lower pay.

Pittsburgh has come back nicely, but the surrounding communities, especially in the Mon Valley, have had it rough.

#3 has been restored. They were in the process
of restoring another one while I was there.
You can see them putting in new rivets.
They will be re-tubing the boiler at a later date.
This is a 5 car round house
of Yosemite National Park.

I couldn't remember so I googled it.
" Sierra No. 3 resides at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park.
It is housed in the original roundhouse which is still in use.
Together these two assets provide a rare opportunity to
experience history just as it was 109 years ago.
Having this locomotive in operation will give filmmakers another reason to stay in California,
as demonstrated by the hundreds of productions Sierra No. 3 has appeared in over the years. " -- Clint Eastwood
