Steam & Excursion > OC 1293 questionDate: 06/09/03 21:11 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.

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.
