Challenge Card, Stephen Hook Project Foreman, Commemorative Last Flue

NEW! Only 100 in this series and numbered!

Commemorates the last flue installed in the 576 during it’s restoration. A BIG accomplishment!

Front side depicts the new, shiny steel flue sheet, and the many flues installed in the 576’s boiler. Opposite side taken from an actual photo of Project Foreman Stephen Hook writing, “576 2016 – 1025 Restoration Last Flue 1/23/25”, moments before that flue was installed, completing the task! Truly a unique collectible! Numbered # of 100 on one edge, and the date of the debut on the other.
