Eastern Railroad Discussion > Galveston TX museum has X AC&Y H20-44 for sale

https://ozarkmountainrailcar.com/railEquipment.php?itemId=1911&category=Locomotives#410 was built by Fairbanks Morse in 1954 as a H20-44 road switcher. It was the last locomotive of this type sold by Fairbanks Morse. It served with the Akron, Canton, and Youngstown as #505; Norfolk and Western under an unknown number; and the Southwest Portland Cement Co. as #410. It came to the current owner in 1984, where it was painted in Union Pacific colors. It ran regularly  until 2008, when it was damaged in a flood. The locomotive has not had a blue card since 1983, and due to its damage is unlikely to be in repairable condition. #410 is one of three known H20-44 locomotives in existence. I would think the Mad River Museum would be interested, maybe Ohio Central, others? Pass the word. brc600 Tim V    

I remember this running on the AC&Y and later repainted N&W on the AC&Y, nice sounding unit at idle and when working hard. It would be nice if a museum would pick this up however, most don't have the funds and if they did, may not have the room for it.

What did water do to make it “unrepairable”?
