The post about the oldest operating diesel got me thinking about my favorite defunct builder, Vulcan Iron Works. Are there any operating standard guage Vulcans anywhere? Superheater@rrmail.com |

As of yet it is not operating but we think or hope that by next Christmas we will have it running. Lehigh Valley Coal Company No. 126. Which is a standard gauge 40 ton Vulcan 0-6-0T. At this point we don't know for sure what we will do with the engine. It will probably start out in Owosso, MI if for no other reason than to get a picture of it with our other engine, Flagg Coal Co. No. 75. The following URL gives more info and some pictures of 126. http://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomo ... splay=1390 JCG Steam Railroading Institute johncgra@locl.net |

Rochester & Genesee Valley RR Museum has a Vulcan 0-4-0T that was donated in 1997. It was last run in 1991. We removed the tubes in 2000/2001, and the lagging was removed by contractor in 2002. We're hoping to raise the money to make the needed repairs, in order to run on the Museum Railroad. R&GVRRM Vulcan 0-4-0T |
