ENGINE 152 |
The Kentucky Railway Museum, Engine #152 AFTER VISITING steam trains and researching historic railways throughout the region, we selected Engine #152 as the mysterious steam train that Michael will ride through her adventures in THIS TRAIN. Owned and operated by The Kentucky Railway Museum, # 152 runs on regular excursions through the Rolling Fork River Valley in the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass region. Built in Patterson, New Jersey in 1905, Engine #152 enjoyed a long career with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, pulling many well-known southeastern passenger routes such as the Hummingbird and the Southwind until her retirement in 1953. Among her passengers were the famous and the infamous; Engine #152 pulled Theodore Roosevelt's campaign train and steamed Al Capone to prison in Atlanta. In 1954, Engine #152 was donated to The Kentucky Railway Museum which now makes its home on Main Street in New Haven. "We are excited to be a part of THIS TRAIN," says Museum Director Karl Lusk. "We welcome the opportunity to bring our museum's railroad technology and history together with the arts." |
