"Official" STEAMTOWN Thread

For those who haven't looked at project3713.com, here's a quote from their January 2022 Donor Update:

[quote]The start of the pandemic coincided with a periodic review of the Project3713 partnership agreement. While these reviews have been fairly quick and easy in the past, Covid-related disruptions, NPS policy changes and the transition to a new administration leading SNHS combined to delay this process. As of January 17, 2022 all parties are continuing to work on the review in accordance with SNHS’s plans to complete the restoration.

Their Donor Update closes with "A full update will be provided once agreement has been reached." So it seems it's still hanging fire...

And now the project3713.com website is gone, the domain parked. The Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley NRHS has posted a "closing statement" dated Aug. 31, 2023 saying the National Park Service and Steamtown have been given the funds raised for 3713 and the L&WV chapter is no longer involved in decision making re: 3713.

The only restoration projects mentioned on the nps.gov site are cosmetic work on Big Boy 4012 and restoration of ACL EMD SW-1 #1901.

What about the ex SRNJ GE 44 Tonner in the back?
