Some of you might live in this area and be able to get to it. Wish I could. Reminds me of Steamtown.

Very impressive collection of diesels there. Some real oddballs in that collection.

Diesels at the "age of steam" roundhouse?  😱🤫🤔.   I didn't bother looking.

They do have a very impressive collection of steam locos there.  Visited few years ago during the Cleveland NMRA convention.  At one time they had about four operable steam locos.  The owner, Jerry Jacobson, also owned the Ohio Central RR, whose main line runs past the roundhouse.  He sold out (to NS?) and passed away not too long ago.  When I was there, CP 1293 was operable and they were restoring an ex-LS&I heavy 2-8-0.  Their GT 4-8-4 was operable, but may have run out of FRA time by now.  And yes, Jerry did collect some vintage diesels too.

Read about the Louisiana Eastern.  It could have been like this.
