The reserve amount for auction bids is $90,000 per engine. Age of Steam said Funds realized from the sale will be used for ongoing care and development of its collection. The museum recently acquired former Bessemer & Lake Erie 2-10-4 No. 643 and had to fund the move of the huge locomotive and tender by truck from the Pittsburgh area to the roundhouse."

We have a 1956 SW1500 and a 1966 SW1500 at work. The 1200 is the primary power for daily switching and is just as serviceable today as it was 63 years ago. Great locomotives.
