[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] According to Trains newswire and as reported by the [URL=http://www.nashvillesteam.org/history/nsps-undertakes-detailed-inspections-of-no-576-results-promising/]Nashville Steam Preservation Society[/URL] the inspection of the NC&StL engine determined it was in great shape: "To say the least, our findings, so far, are extremely encouraging! We are extremely thankful and grateful for the care and foresight that the NC&StL shop forces had to properly prepare No. 576 for long term storage, in an outside environment, that enables it to be a prime restoration candidate." And Trains reports that: "Next, the nonprofit is to go before the Nashville Metropolitan Council, governing agency for the city and Davidson County, tonight (July 19) for what’s expected to be the first of at least three meetings. If the Council approves an agreement in August or September, and if enough funds are raised, the locomotive could be moved this autumn." If it clears these hurdles it will move to the old Tennessee Central shops/office (now a museum) for repairs by the contractor. All it takes is time and $3M. [/QB][/QUOTE]
