Steam & Excursion > Steam Locomotive Being Hauled on Highway in Baltimore CountyDate: 07/03/23 19:02 Steam Locomotive Being Hauled on Highway in Baltimore County Author: LU1865 I saw this steam locomotive being hauled on 695 West in Baltimore County yesterday. Any idea on the history?

Specs shown on the attachment for post #2 as standard gauge. Water tank atop boiler looks in better condition than the cab. Wonder if restoration efforts were already underway elsewhere. Hope more info forthcoming from others.

The comments indicate it was listed for sale on Ozark Mountain Railcar's site late last year. Date: 07/04/23 08:48 Re: Steam Locomotive Being Hauled on Highway in Baltimore County Author: Macster I wonder if Stathi bought another one to go with the Chiggen
