Here’s a cool video! Nice job showing valve adjustments on a 15” Crown loco. They’ve got three 15” ga Crown’s running now! Apparently Crown made 35 locos in 15” gauge! Never knew that before...

Re: Little Toot Railroad
Awesome history!
Re: Little Toot Railroad
Clint used to stop by the shop once in a while when he passed thru the area. Amazingly Jim Adams in the video was age 100 in 2013. He is now 106 and has unfortunately been moved to a nursing home earlier this year. Jim retired off the Illinois Central railroad in 1974 after 33 years of service as a draftsman at their Centralia IL shops. He was also instrumental in getting the Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2500 donated and installed at Fairview Park in Centralia.
