RJD America LLC is thrilled to share the latest developments in the ongoing restoration of the iconic Chesapeake & Ohio 614 steam locomotive at the Strasburg Rail Road Mechanical Services (SRC).

In the first two weeks of August, the SRC restoration team has made significant strides in the early phases of work. The locomotive’s boiler jacketing has been removed, and a detailed parts inventory is being performed to document every component, ensuring each piece is accounted for before repair and then future reassembly. The tender and engine have now been disconnected, and the engine has been moved inside the shop, where skilled craftsmen can work on it under optimal conditions.

In addition to these efforts, SRC crews are conducting ultrasonic testing of the firebox, along with a complete assessment of the running gear and frame components. These structural and mechanical evaluations are a critical step in preparing for the next stages of the restoration.

The restoration remains on schedule with the estimated timeline; mechanical and boiler work are scheduled for 2026, followed by reassembly, testing, and FRA approval stages in 2027.

Stay tuned for more restoration updates and other highlights as this celebrated steam icon moves ever closer to her return to the high iron.
