WOW! They are beautiful! Were these the original colors? Engine #60 seems to be missing the connecting rod from the piston to the first wheel. Am I missing something or was that just temporary? I would like to see some photos of the re-enactment.
They are beautiful, and according to the park service the engine dimensions and colors are the same as the originals.
They were working on these engines when I was there, the smoke stacks were removed as well as connecting rod. I have seen pictures of the reenactment, just google Promontory info.
