Ohio Railway Museum, circa 1983
Title:  Ohio Railway Museum, circa 1983
Description:  Submission #600. Date approximate, but its way back when I had more hair, and less waist. This engine was in tough shape when this photo was taken--I hate to think what kind of condition it's in now. I can remember a time back in the early 1960's when they would still fire up #578. I don't think she's had a fire in her belly for a long, long time.
