Great to see her back in action! Apparently she was subjected to flooding in New Orleans due to Katrina - had water about up to her axles. Kudos to LASTA for restoring an "ordinary" working steam locomotive, not something flashy or unusual. Now I'd like to see her doublehead with Cotton Belt 819!

That locomotive has the greatest sounding whistle I have ever heard. Leaving Pittsburg for the second run, I was filming it, and it was so sweet I had tears in my eyes.
This is one engine to be heard to be believed.
