I was with the Morris County Central and remember this engine and Tony Citro had it moved from his resturant to the MCC RR Shop at Newfoundland NJ.  It's a great looking engine and I hope to someday see it under steam.

Keep up the good work! Restoring any steam locomotive is a worthwhile endeavour. Cheers from Australia.

In regard to the post of August 31, 2001: A friend tells me that  i must have went on a Pennsylvania train since the D L & W did not service Phillipsburg, NJ. Perhaps I should not have asked this question on this forum. If not could someone point me in the right direction to get this info.

I congratulate you who are restoring a lost part of my childhood. I was born in 1941 near the Cutoff of the DL&W in Portland, Pa. Can anyone tell me when Passenger service was discontinued from the Portland Station? I remember getting on a train in Portland and going to Phillipsburg ,NJ. I was no more than 6 or 7 years old. Do any of you historians know the date the passnger service was stopped. This has been on my mind for a time and both of my parents are long gone.

Keep up the great work. I went to Steamtown for the first time in April 2011 and loved it.

As I sit here on a Sunday night and prepare for the work week ahead, I read about the 565 project and wish I could just chuck it all and join you guys!  All the very best with the project, and I look forward to learning of your continued progress!

Keep up the work,  After a cosmetic restoration,  are there any thoughts on a full restoration to working order. ?  A lot bigger project, but worth thinking about,  as how many larger 2 - 6 - 0 s  are left in working order. ?

This is an awesome project. A similar project is going on in Spencer, NC with old trains.
