Yves, I do not know if you are aware of the fact that the leading locomotive in your beautiful photo taken on December 31, 2004 has had many changes. This leading engine was totally rebuilt in China, was shipped to the United States, arrived in The port of New Orleans, was transported by rail to Lexington, Kentucky. QJ 7040 is now RJ Corman 2008 having been further refurbished, including having her smoke deflectors removed and getting a new paint scheme. She has been steamed three times since her completion and run in Kentucky twice, on Mr. Corman's Central Kentucky Line. Please go to the RJ Corman section of RailPictures.net to see her in her new look. A lot has changed since your photo was taken five years ago. Time passes but Engine 7040 still lives on as 2008 !
