    Much progress has been made reassembling the U of M Alco locomotive in the past year.  See the photos below for some of the work going on with the locomotive.

     

     



  • M&StL 1201 Move

    1Jul2021
    On Thursday, 1July, the crew of Vic's Crane and Heavy Haul Service moved M&StL caboose 1201 about 10 miles from Jordan, MN to GSRM in New Prage.  The crew began around 9am and was finished by 215pm.


    Here's a few photos of the move.  See the caboose move tab for more photos.









  • Stabilizing M&StL 1201's Roof

    3Jul2021
    The first thing volunteers worked on after 1201's arrival was the task of removing some old tin roofing which had been added years ago and temporarily patching some holes in the roof with plywood.  Over the years, the roof has rotted away near the stove chimney as well as elsewhere, leaving a 3' by 3' hole in the roof where the stove chimney would be.


    The little "Charlie Brown" tree growing in the roof was also removed.  The entire roof was covered with rubber roofing to protect it from further damage from rain and snow.
