Interesting Greenfield Village view of the Edison engine, minus tender. Said to be rebuilt in the 1920s from an ancient 0-4-0. http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi? ... -2006a.jpg This one was once souped up with modern appliances to pull Henry's private car, then backdated to original appearance. Is there an attempt to make it steam again? http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi? ... -2006b.jpg Reconstructed roundhouse, using some parts of one at Marshall, Michigan: http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi? ... -2006a.jpg |

The Edison was rebuilt in 1932 by the Ford Rouge shops and later around 1970 by Keystone Light Rail. When it was a Manchester 0-4-0, it worked the Edison Portland Cement facility in NJ. |

I wonder what is happening with the locomotive that came to the Ford Museum from the Illinois Railway Museum? I think it is a 2-8-0 and was cosmetically restored before it left Union? I imagine that it is on static display at the Ford Museum now? Ted Miles |
