Bethlehem Steel Corp. 0-6-0T No. Unk

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Dec 26, 2020 @ 14:12:05
Saw this engine about 2, almost 3 month ago. She is in rough shape, and is missing a lot of things from her cab. She can probably run again with enough work, but the restaurant will probably not want to give it up. There are also an old farm tractor, and 2 garden tractors abandoned in a field nearby.

This locomotive is slowly being worked on a little piece at a time as the place in California that owns her gets the money to fix her. She needs very little work over all. Her boiler is pretty much operable as is, and most of the work is relegated to the running gear.
