Description
Arthur was one of the first steam locomotives I ever saw at the B&O railroad museum where I got my interest in trains. he's sick with the Rust Disease which engines get when they're exposed to the elements for too long. it can kill them by slowly disintegrating their bodies which can be painful at points. fortunately though Arthur has not reached that state yet.

This day represents when the back of the North car shop was open with Arthur sitting outside. I walked up to him & we had a small conversation. he was coughing & wheezing when he spoke. I was heartbroken seeing him like this. I was only three when I first met him at the time & I was too young to understand what he was going through.

I'm still grieving over Arthur's predicament to this day... I pray that he'll at LEAST get cosmetically restored, so he doesn't have to cough or wheeze whenever I see him. I think he'll be the next engine to be restored after the President Washington, don't you?
