The City agreed to turn over title to the locomotive to the Museum. Conrail agreed to facilitate the removal of the K4 from the Curve. In September of that same year the locomotive was towed off the Curve and into a shop in the Juniata complex. Here the K-4 is in the process of being moved onto the main line. However, a problem with the temporary track caused a derailment.
Crews are in the process of repairing the track.
Awaiting placement at Horseshoe Curve. Using a mix of paid and volunteer labor the locomotive was returned to service in April 1987. Mr. Yager was an associate of Doyle McCormick in the restoration of steam locomotives. Wayne Laepple, Linwood Hill, Leroy Duffy. Photo by David Seidel.
