It is, perhaps, a minor quibble, but this quote:

Quote:

Wahl said he and his board members were disappointed.

"My only issue with this is that … I haven’t heard anything from Ohio Central for so long. There would have been an opportunity, sooner than now, to advertise the steam engine," he said.

sounds very much like they still intend to part with the loco. So it may not "stay in Columbus" over the long term.
