Firebox Mapping is performed to determine the integrity of the firebox metal and its ability to be able to hold the 300 PSI pressure when the locomotive is steamed up.

Sam D. Teague, Founder and President of the Railroad Artifact Preservation Society, was in charge of all restoration work performed on AT&SF Steam Locomotive 5000 (Madame Queen).

In this series you will be able to see parts of the Madame Queen not visible to bystanders or visitors to the locomotive. All restoration work performed was documented and recorded, either on video, or with still photography.

Follow this new series to see the restoration and preservation effort on 5000 with up close detail and information of how the work was done.
