I believe that the group in North Judson, IN (Hoosier Valley RR) would like to locate the original builder's plates for C&O 2-8-4 #2789. They have the original number plate. These were the large, FLYING ALCO plates that were only used at the end of steam. I once knew who had at least (one of them); and yes, he had acquired the plate through proper channels, long before the engine was set aside for preservation.
Can anyone help ?
