Yesterday (April 5), I was driving on I-75 between Cincinnati and Dayton and I saw a large flatbed truck with a steam locomotive boiler and running gear on it. The cab and boiler jacket were removed, there were no identifying marks that I could see, and it appeared to be an 0-6-0. (Best guess; any leading or trailing trucks were removed for the trip.) It was headed northbound (Possibly toward Dayton, Toledo, or Detroit?). Can anyone shed light on it's identity and destination? rmminton@yahoo.com |

Rob, The locomotive you saw was ex-Bluegrass Railroad Museum #63, ex-Gulf States Paper #63. BGRM sold it the the group that runs the Kokosing Gap Trail , a 14-mile section of ex-PRR right of way between Mount Vernon and Danville, OH. to be put on display with their ex-C&O caboose at gambier, Ohio. The locomotive itself is an 1940 0-6-0 Alco. James jahamilton@usa.net |
