Post subject:  Missing Locomotive

I've been trying to track down what happened to a New Jersey locomotive for some time, and have spent about $90.00 on long distance calls to little effect.

The locomotive is U.S. Navy 0-4-0T No. 3 which spent a significant part of its post-Navy life at Mahalcick Salvage in NJ. At some point it was sold to a hobby shop in Absecon, NJ call "The Train Station" and was displayed there. The hobby shop closed a few years back, the locomotive is gone, and I am at a loss trying to find it.

Does anyone know where this one went and/or have a photo of it?

I think it might be in front of a Harley dealership on Route 30 on the east side of the Parkway. It looks great and makes a great back drop for the motor cycles. Let us know if this is th engine you are thinking of.

I just got off the phone with the Harley dealership! That's the one. Thank you very much for the help.
