Anyone here know which of several regional various and sundry steamers was stuffed and mounted on the sidewalk outside the B&O passenger station in Youngstown, Ohio? I passed through town a month or so ago and asked at the brewpub restaurant in the depot (which just closed--the closing party is tomorrow night), but they basically said "it came with the building". Apparently this depot was rehabbed into a restaurant before the brewpub came onto the scene.

Any ideas?

Steamlocomotive.com reports the engine (#6) as a Porter 2-4-2 (maybe rebuilt from an 0-4-0) from Carbon Limestone.

Porter number 6 from the B&O station has been sold and relocated to property owned by J.P. Marsh in Hubbard, OH. It is now sitting next to the former Erie mainline, has been freshly blasted and painted and is looking mighty good. The site also has a PRR cabin car, NYC bay window caboose and heavyweight baggage car on display.

I-80 to the Hubbard Exit, number 234, last exit in Ohio. Go South on Route 62 and 7 until you get to the railroad crossing. Before the crossing turn left and everything is sitting right there in the parking lot.

And if you go to Hubbard to see this stuff, be sure to eat in the diner right in front of the rail equipment.
