Tim,
I know..lets say in good serviceable condition. A steam engine if properly maintained and cared for can last many years. Like your grandfathers ax. Six new handles and two new heads, but still you grandfathers ax.

Any report of a 37 year old steam locomotive in "prime condition" has to
be taken with a grain (or a whole teaspoon) of salt... :-)

I read somewhere (wish I could remember where..brain getting old) that when the Q leased these engines to SP they were in prime condition. When the SP returned them, they were pretty much scrap material.

Wow, that's fantastic! I'd never heard of these locos leased to the SP before
you guys mentioned it. Beautiful photo.
