This against-all-odds story of a World War II-era steam locomotive captures the determination of two generations of volunteers to keep it running. The narrative traces the train's regular freight service in Michigan, its unlikely salvation from the scrapyard, and the subsequent work to bring it back to steam. This is the tale of the revival of a significant steam locomotive and a triumph of historic preservation.
