Frisco engine 3749 making its run at night

Frisco engine 3749, the 1911-vintage steam engine which was expected to roll into Parrish on Feb. 14, has been delayed again.


"The engine is half way to Parrish and now Florida Department of Transportation says the mover must have more police and run only at night," Gene Hughey of the Florida Railroad Museum said in an email today.


Barring any additional delays, the engine is expected to be unloaded Monday. Feb. 20, he said.


 Frisco engine 3749 has been part of Orlando's dining and entertainment district, Church Street Station, for the past 35 years.
