Need help with a location
Author: px320

US Army 2-8-0 #612 ran from Virginis to Utah for the Centennial celebration in 1969.

I think it may have been displayed at Hill AFB, but I'm not sue.  Anybody know?

Would this be at the old Bamberger entrance from Roy into Hill AFB?
I was there in 1966.
Or was this in the Tooele Depot area?

I am leaning toward Tooele due to the more open space. I bet Don Strack will know.

Terrain looks more like the Ogden area, I'd say it's just North of the Hill gate.

Here's a better image. Comparing Google Street View for the Hill AFB and Tooele Army Depot locations I suspect this is at Hill AFB. Also I don't remember traveling very far to get to this location.

Thanks for the help

The 612 was used at Fort Eustis, VA until 1972.  It then remained in the Eastern US.  It currently resides at the Age Of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, OH

Who all served Tooele Depot?  I think the Western Pacific got in, but can't recall if Rio Grande or SP ever took cars in there.

Stan, that looks like Bill Oden in the orange shirt?  Something about the way he is standing and that Cromer hat.
