Nice catch! This little guy sat along the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in Peninsula, OH for quite some time on display.

Nice catch! The unit was owned by the US Air Force before being donated to the Cuyahoga Valey. It may have actually been owned by the National Park Service, who owns the CVSR's right of way. If I remember correctly, one of the prime movers did not work, thus was put on display at the Peninsula station after being painted in the B&O livery. The number 21 was one higher than the 2 44-tonners the B&O owned. I'm curious as to where it's headed.

I just love KRL's slogan "Red'n Ready" the flat car is KRL 701201. All of KRL's cars are red and are heavy haul flats. This load is not real heavy, because the tie downs have turnbuckles. If this were a Deltec Boiler or steam turbine then the manner of anchoring the load would be by welding in place with steel rodding to welded steel brackets on the car deck. Some of KRL's cars have drop center decks and four trucks.

According to a post on the cincyrails Yahoo group, this locomotive is on its way to the Kentucky Railway Museum.

I talked to my grandpa (volunteer for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad) and they sold it! Why?!? I cant believe it!
