Company Profile
Steam Operations Corporation was created in 1993 by Scott Lindsay to address the need for experienced, responsible, and dedicated management of the restoration, rebuilding, and operation of steam locomotives. As a result of his experience from being involved in the rebuilding of nearly every locomotive that has played a role in the modern mainline excursion era, dating back to the Chessie Steam Special of 1977-1978, Scott was able create a firm grounded in experience gained as a result of dedicated mainline operations.
The firm has now grown to encompass virtually every aspect of steam locomotive rebuilding, restoration, and operation and has also grown to include specialized machining capabilities with an emphasis on running gear components, engineering services, accredited ultrasonic testing services for boilers, locomotive parts replication, design, and fabrication, turntable restoration, and historic railroad collections restoration.
