Consolidation Steam Engine Drive-By

On April 19, 2008 members of the Ohio Rail Tourism Association (ORTA) and members of the public were treat to an 18 mile train ride from Sugarcreek to Morgan Run. The 3 cars were pulled by a beautifully restored 2-8-0 Consolidation Steam Engine. At one point we got off the train for a "drive by" where the train backed up and approached us under full power. It was awesome. Thanks to Jerry Jacobson, Mary Marshall and the Ohio Central Railroad System for this rare event.

Wouldn't mind seeing that double headed with their BC&G 2-8-0 on a coal drag, too bad now that OCR was sold it probably wont happen

It's hard to believe that this locomotive is the sister of WMSR #734. Which is originally L.S.&I #34.

I love the 33, it has to be one of my all-time favorite consolidations.
