This photo of 765 visiting the halls of Lima just came through on my RSS feed. It got me to wondering how many steamers have been back to where they were built. I can think of 2102 and 611 here in the East.

Five of the steam locomotives at the B&O Museum are exhibited within a few hundred feet of where they were built. Two others were built within a mile or so of the Museum.

Interest shot of 765 inside the Lima Locomotive Works building. That photo seen on the Facebook page, must of been taken between 1979-1990. Ft. Wayne Historical did many steam excursions in and out of Lima with the 765. I think 765 & 1225 were the last two steamers to run by Lima Locomotive Works back in 1991, before attending the NRHS Huntington Convention.

One thing that dates it is the stainless steel covers over the front valve chest covers. Those were added post ~1985.
