Yeah wheres the pics?

I took the engine down to the Three Rivers Greenway on the Congaree River. In the background is the Gervais St. Bridge.

Tomorrow it will be sent to Chris. Any special procedures other than securing a tracking number?

Thanks guys

Ah relaxing on the beautiful banks of the Congaree River. My Grandfather Walker Raleigh Turbeville was a civil engineer with the South Carolina Highway department and designed the original lighting on that bridge. It's good to see the Tee Dee taking some R&R time after the traumatic exhibition I subjected it to. There are some 40 pound Striped Bass in that river. Some come all the way from the ocean every year. A few somewhat smaller ones have ended up on my dinner table.
Thanks Matt.

The engine arrived today! I'm going to try to run it and get some pictures this weekend. Updates to come!

G.O. Stang Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:41 pm

Just an update. I've been really busy but I've cleared my weekend to run the engine this weekend and get it sent on. Sorry for the delay. It's doesn't help that it's been so hot and humid. Hot

**RknRusty** Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:43 pm

Thanks for the update, Stang.

**Admin** Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:43 pm

That's alright, I can't wait to see the pictures you come up with!

dckrsn Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:22 pm

Again, thanks Jacob and Jason, for putting this together.
I really enjoy following her travels.

G.O. Stang Tue Aug 12, 2014 7:00 pm

Alright. The time has come. Time to send her onto the next in line. It's been a joy having and engine that will surely go down in the Cox history books in my possession. Here's some of the fun.
Had to get the family together for a photo.

I've got some videos to come. The engine will be sent out tomorrow to the next destination!

Very nice

A cox engine wouldn't look bad as a hood ornament!

microflitedude Tue Aug 12, 2014 8:41 pm

That's the best post I've seen yet. Nice Job Chris.

Friday 15 Aug
TE has arrived and I have my work cut out trying to "one up" all the previous photos and exploits of the CEF Traveling Engine

Plan this week end is to set it on the nose of a Jeff Dawson version of the Lite Hawk and get a few laps and photos. Then see how creative I can be in a very mundane rural county with uninspiring history... I should be able to forward this jewel to next in line by mid week 20th or 21st Aug

CEF is a awesome forum and Jacob and the moderators do a super job

Get ready Ron Cribbs, I think I have you address here but shoot me a PM anyway to be sure it heads your way correctly

V/R
Fred

fredvon4 Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:35 am

Laptop giving me grief getting photos from my phone... as soon as I get that sorted I will post the TP central Texas exploit photos

**Cribbs74** Wed Aug 27, 2014 10:56 pm

Received the TE today. I am headed out of town for a month, but I am bringing it with me to keep it moving. It's gonna get run ragged on something.

Ron
