Summer season in full steam for Santa Fe No. 3415
Pacific-type locomotive performs admirably over the weekend
Steam locomotive No. 3415 turned in another weekend of successful operations on the Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad. This comes after headlining the railroad’s 30th anniversary during Father’s Day weekend, which followed multiple sidelines to the locomotive due to unforeseen repairs in late May and issues with the injector in early June.
“No. 3415 performed admirably all weekend during four trips,” President and General Manager Ross Boelling said. “When you see the foreman with a relaxed smile at the end of the last weekend run, you know she ran well!”
