After
stretching her legs for what easily could have been the final time more
than 30 years ago, CGW 116-A was recently fired up once again.
On
the evening of Friday, August 14, 2015, new life was breathed into the
long
dormant unit.
Darrin Smith captured
video of the event. Be sure to check it out below!
Thank
you to Rob Schreiner for sharing the following pictures from August
14th, 2015!

While
this is a tremendous step in the right direction, there is more
work ahead. If you would like to make a contribution to be used
for the resurrection of the 116-A, please click the "Donate" button

Thank you!
