With the government shutdown we have not been able to do any work on the F units. Steamtown is part of the national parks service and will be closed until all the children in Washington quit there temper tantrum. Mast of the staff over there has been furloughed, this means that we can not be allowed on park grounds until all the children in Washington quit there temper tantrum. I hope this all ends soon for everyone's sake, because until all the children in Washington quit there temper tantrum, lots of people's lives are being put on hold. ( as a note I hate both sides of the isle with equal discus and hold no political affiliation.) I promise that will be my last and only political rant.

But on a better note. Our F-3's have been invited to The "Streamliners at spencer" <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nctrans.org/Events/Streamliners-at-Spencer-">http://www.nctrans.org/Events/Streamliners-at-Spencer-</a><!-- m --> Here is an exert from the ARHS face book page announcing the event.


" Well the ARHS received the official invitation from the North Carolina Transportation Museum to bring Lackawanna painted F3's #663 and 664 to Spencer next June for the Streamliners at Spencer event. After analyzing the details regarding schedule and expense the ARHS BofD has accepted the invitation.
Given that nearly all the major railroads refuse to move these older locomotives except in special moves (at great expense) this will probably the only time you will see this many cab unit diesels congregate in one location. "

Hopefully I will be able to get down there to witness this, as it is kind of a big deal for us to be included in this event.
