'lron horse' — (Continued from page 1) i and troop train days when we zig-zagged across the country first as a rookie and later as a troop train commander The rhythmic click-click of the wheels can easily lull one into a state of ennui. As we crossed over bridges and leveled over ravines and cut through hilly terrain, we had to reflect on the horse-powered heavy machinery as not yet available. It brought immigrants to this country to build the railroads — Chinese coolies in the west and Poles in the midwest and east. It was all too short, but we did have a lot of opportunity to tour most of the cars, and to drop by the refreshment car where sandwiches and soft drinks were sold. Also, there was any amount of memorabilia concerning railroading, from arm patches to scholarly journals on the subject. It was a time for excitement. Garrett was ready for the train. In the railroad yards park local organizations had set up stands where such things as sandwiches and soft drinks were sold. And, again, there was a wide assortment of memorabilia on sale. For ourselves, we were lucky to prevail on the good services of a friend, Paul Schmucker, to drive to Garrett to fetch us home. We were told the train would not stop in Syracuse en route west, but it actually did. Now The Facts The Chessie Steam Special locomotive carried number 2101. Built by the Reading Railroad in 1945, this steam locomotive, a 4-8-4, class Tl, was designed for heavy duty freight and passenger service. It was used sporadically until 1955 when it was kept ready but unused. In 1967 it was retired. In 1968 the B&O discontinued using steam-powered locomotives. At 900,000 pounds it produces more power than a 707 airplane at take off. The locomotive appeared to be headed for an ignominious end at the hands of a scrap dealer’s cutting torch when Ross Rowland purchased it at a Baltimore scrap yard for the nation’s biggest Bicentennial event — The American Freedom Train. Ross Rowland, founder of The American Freedom Train, is a steam train buff by avocation, a New Jersey

ANYONE? — The train had a special snack car in which sandwiches and soft drinks were sold, along with a huge amount of railread memorabilia. 1 VjA AT GARRETT, DIVISIONAL POINT — The old iron horse came to a halt at the Garrett railroad station with literally hundreds of onlookers coming from miles around. The old station had certainly seen better days. I

The locomotive land its two tenders were restored to active service by Mr. Rowland and a group of enthusiastic volunteers together with guidance from a cadre of professionals. The “impossible” project was complete in less than five weeks at the B&O Riverside Shops in Baltimore, and The Freedom Train had its motive power.
