I was excited yesterday while doing the York PA rail trail they had No17 out on a run. This is reported to be the newest steam locomotive in the world. It was built in 2013 using blueprints of the Union Pacific #119. Its an incredible experience to see this train on this line, the building above the passenger cars (on the right) is the Hanover Junction restored train station. It was here that president Abraham Lincoln changed trains to get to Gettysburg in November 1863 to give his immortal "few words" to dedicate the cemetery there. Pulled by an engine very much like this one.
