Johnson City Enginehouse of the East Tennessee Railway

This is the rest of the loco inside the ET shop. Ken says it will run, and if he says it will, I'm sure it will. Man, these things look sad without all the boiler lagging and piping on them. The pilot is sitting in front and the cab is off behind it. Also, that trailing truck looks like it just trails and holds up nothing. It will be neat to see a steamer back in the gorge one day, even if it ain't number 12. Is that Ken's little white hat or is that some more of his "ghost" stuff going on?
