Post subject: | L & WV steam weekend update |
Steam comes to the L&WV Ry! September 14th 15th & 16th, 2007 The Lorain & West Virginia Railway is pleased to announce our first Steam weekend! The date coincides with LaGrange engine show at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. More engine show information is available at the website: www.lagrangeengineclub.com The featured locomotive is Viscose company #6, a Baldwin- built coal-fired 0-4-0 tank engine which was recently rebuilt. This locomotive has recently operated excursions on scenic railroads in other states. It promises to provide an interesting experience to railfans of all ages—it’s small enough to entertain youngsters, yet is an authentically restored coal-fired steam engine. A unique 8.5 mile train ride will be provided in a open excursion car and a caboose. A coach will be added if demand warrants. Trains will depart from the Fairgrounds Main Gate of the Engine Show as well as from the L&WV Station at 46485 State Route 18 in Wellington. Ticket price is $15.00 per rider*. Advance sale tickets are $14.00 and no other discounts will be offered for this special event. Regular Trains are cancelled for this Steam-Only weekend. Advance Tickets can be purchased at our Station in Wellington, starting September 1st or by credit card over the phone at 440-647-6660. Schedule of Steam Trains - all times are pm.
