The long term goal the Rocky Mountain Rail Society has anticipated for several years, is on the horizon. In 2022 and 2023, we made numerous repairs to the firebox.
Holes in firebox were patched and repaired.
Syphons were welded.
Floor is repaired, ready to hold fire brick.
All of the holes are drilled and most are tapped, ready for new stay bolts to be installed in early 2024.
Next steps,
repair throttle casting,
reinstall super heater tubes
other critical upgrades will lead to a boiler Hydrostatic Test and putting the locomotive back together.
The Board of Directors has completed spending funding received from the Alberta Government, Ministry of Culture and Status of Women for stay bolt repairs.
We know there is a committed following in the railway preservation community to see 6060 returned to steam.
What do we need? A strong membership.
If you are a member consider renewing your membership for 2024 and supporting the 6060 steam locomotive through volunteer work or donations.
If you are not a member and are interested in supporting our goal, please join; become a member of the Rocky Mountain Rail Society. Follow the links to renew, become a member, or donate.
Seeing this magnificent steam locomotive in operation, as she was in this photograph of her first day of operation, can be achieved by all of us who have a passion to see 6060 under steam power again.The Rocky Mountain Rail Society is requesting that everyone renew their membership for 2024. Bring a friend, new members are welcome.
If you know of anyone else who would support our repairs to the locomotive, encourage them to join our group. We have members from all over Canada and USA.
If you would like more information or explanation of the terms being used, please send an inquiry through the website (Contact us) or an email to info@6060.org, I will give you a better description. Steam locomotives are full of strange parts that are unknown today and no longer used on modern locomotives. Many parts have names that are no longer known. I will do my best to explain what the parts are.
Thank you for renewing your membership and your continuing support.
