Closed due to damage from the President's Day snowstorm of course, probably until next summer. She's actually a few decades older than the Eureka--dates to the 1850s. However, it's unlikely that much of her except the frame and some castings really dates back that far any longer. eledbetter@rypn.org |

I'm told that they took her out of the roundhouse on compressed air, and with the first few chuffs, 27 years worth of dead bugs headed straight for the ceiling. Do you have any other photos from that visit? Please post them. It would be nice to see a shot of B&O EA #51 before the idiots who were running the place at the time put her outside. kevin.r.gillespie@verizon.net |

That #25 photo is posted at Joe Korman's site. He's got a bunch more from his 1969 Baltimore trip at his site. Joe Korman's site intersys@insystem.com |
