Tube Sponsor: $262\u200b<\/h3>\n
The 157 tubes carry hot gases through the boiler. These hot gases heat the water surrounding the tubes, causing it to boil into steam. All of the tubes will be removed and replaced with new tubes during the Second Century Overhaul. The donation level of $262 was chosen symbolically\u2014it reflects the locomotive\u2019s wheel arrangement, 2-6-2. There are 157 sponsorships available at this level. Donors are welcome to sponsor more than one tube at a time.<\/p>\n
You will receive a beautiful acrylic photo block with an individual, personalized message of thanks\u2014an eye-catching addition to a table or desk.

Flue Sponsor: $550<\/h3>\n
The 26 flues run through the boiler and carry hot gases in a similar manner to the tubes. However, the flues are much larger in diameter, and contain within them the superheater elements. The hot gases in the flues serve two purposes\u2014they boil water into steam in the boiler, and superheat that steam in the superheater elements. All of the flues will be inspected during the Second Century Overhaul, and some may be replaced. There are 26 sponsorships available at this level.<\/p>\n
You will receive an eye-catching pair of acrylic photograph blocks. One block features an image of the locomotive in operation, taken by Photographer-in-Residence Tim Johnson. The other shows a schematic diagram of the locomotive and bears an individual, personalized message of thanks.

Superheater Sponsor: $1000<\/h3>\n
The 26 superheater elements carry steam from the boiler back through the flues in order to absorb more heat into the steam and make the locomotive more powerful. The superheater elements will be removed and inspected during the overhaul. There are 26 sponsorships available at this level.<\/p>\n
You will receive the same pair of acrylic photograph blocks as Flue Sponsors. You will also receive an invitation for two people (over 21 years of age) to attend a wine tasting presented by Sommelier-in-Residence Randy Parks.<\/p>\n
