So I have a railroad museum close to me and I enjoy watching the trains with my brother. And there are 2 really unknown steam locomotives that intrigued me. I wanted to see if anyone has footage of them running under power with audio maybe? Before there time at the museum. Or any photographs of them would be cool to. I've checked with the museum and they said they probably exist but will be hard to find

First locomotive is Mississippi eastern 303 has a really unique story behind it. It's getting cosmetically restored soon and has been stored outdoors it's entire life I'd love to see it under Steam.

Second one is republic steel Corp 191 switcher was one of the museum first engines was restored but retired in 1987 due to needing extensive repairs. I know there's footage of it at the museum. But wanted to see if there's any of it at the steel mill it worked for. I'll include links to the museums info website about these locomotives.
