1225 to BO Rail?

[SD80MAC]

"PM 1225 is scheduled to participate in the B&O Musuem's Fair of the Iron Horse 175. It and crew will depart Owosso on or about June 22 with return on or about July 11, 2003. Plans are coming together and PM 1225 is under intense inspections. CSX and the B&O Museum are close to an agreement to allow PM 1225 to run in its main line (mostly the old B&O, AnnPere to Fostoria to Baltimore). An official announcement of the agreement is due by mid February. CSX maintenance officials have contacted the PM 1225 mechanical dept. and are already part of the inspection process."

Obviously this never happened (unless I've been sleeping under a rock). What happened? CSX being uncooperative as usual?

What happened?

This....

The entire event had to be cancelled because of this.

Gregg,

What is that a picture of?

[RailCanon]

The B&O Museum's Mt. Clare roundhouse, where most of the oldest and most prized pieces of their collection is stored.

It's what will prolly happen to the Durand Union Station.

[SD80MAC]

Oh, forgot their roundhouse collapsed around that same time. So CSX was willing to let 1225 run all the way to BO Rail, but a year later they wouldn't let it hop over to GR for the Polar Express premier? Lame.

IIRC, wasn't 1225 supposed to go some steamfest at the Ohio Central a couple of years ago, and then had to back out?
