"Travel back to the golden age of railroads in this episode when a small town in the state of Washington is determined to save its cherished train depot from the wrecking ball. But time and Mother Nature have taken their toll on the aging structure. Will the old depot once again welcome tourists to the town of Morton?
Meanwhile, in two Texan cities, we move two unique locomotives using two different methods--one used for more than 150 years, and another that's on the cutting edge of technology. Watch how these giant locomotives roll again for the first time in 50 years."

I saw 982 at MinuteMaid a few weeks ago. I was wondering when and how they moved her from Hermann Park. Her sister 975 is at the Illinois railroad museum. The only 2 surving F1 2-10-2.
