Title:  JBKA
Description:  End of the day? Nope. The crew thought so, but upon getting permission into the yard, they also receive orders that they are to build tomorrows westbound WAJO to go to Warren. Note the former Knox & Kane #39 on the string of box cars in the background. The Georges Creek Railway purchased #39, and Im sure Gerald Altizer and his team will do another stellar job when they restore her back into her original Western Maryland Circus paint scheme.

JBKA
Title:  JBKA
Description:  Former Knox and Kane #39 is on rails that it once ran daily while in service with the Johnsonburg, Kane, Warren and Irvine RR, a lesser known Cornell owned railroad. Unfortunately, she will never again see the Knox & Kane rails, as this closes a chapter in the book of Knox & Kane history. Fortunately, there is a sequel, as the Georges Creek Railway purchased #39, and Im sure Gerald Altizer and his team will do another stellar job when they restore her back into her original Western Maryland Circus paint scheme. After the arson, on a sunny day you could see the Western Maryland letter showing through, and note the Chessie paint showing on the nose.

Description:  Somewhat of a burial of the Knox & Kane as #39 is ferried under one of the bridges that she pulled so many passengers and freight over in her life with the K&K. Fortunately she will be reincarnated as the Georges Creek Railway purchased #39, and Im sure Gerald Altizer and his team will do another stellar job when they restore her back into her original Western Maryland Circus paint scheme.
