OC 1293 question
Author: nycman

I was going back through some old stuff today and found photos of 2816 dead at Steamtown in 1995. Also found some of 1293 dead at Steamtown. When did OC acquire the 1293 and when did she run for the first time after restoration? Thanks.

Not sure about the initial acquisition, but the first run was in September 1997 during Ohio Central\'s Railfest, which also featured 4-6-0 #1551 and 2-8-0 #13.

The Ohio Central maintains an excellent website which features lots of information regarding all their steam locomotives (and answers to your queries). See: http://www.ocsteam.com

Schultz, thanks for the link. I have been to the site many times and just never explored all the info available there. Is that you in the smokebox of the restoration photos? I was interested in her move from Pennsylvania to Ohio, which isn\'t that far, so that\'s probably the reason she didn\'t get as much publicity as 2816 when she was moved from PA all the way to BC.
