Save the date for the unveiling of the C&O 701 on Saturday, August 12th
Plans are in the works to bring to life a new steam engine on Saturday, August 12th at the railroad. Join Wayne Godshall, of Godshall’s Custom Machining & Live Steam, as he unveils the 19th H10 consolidation locomotive to one of our NGLS members. The locomotive has been modeled after the C&O 701 which maybe the last known surviving consolidation locomotive of the C&O railroad. The prototype was originally built in 1911 for the Hocking Valley Railways and later merged with the C&O railroad. To read up on the prototype and see some of the build pictures click here. More details about the unveiling to follow.
