The Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Marquette County said a temporary goodbye to an integral part of their collection — one of the oldest surviving railroad trains in the United States and one of the only three of its type in the world. The museum sent the locomotive to Pennsylvania for restoration, a process that will cost $200,000. Also, where are some other locomotives in Michigan.
The 0-6-0, built in 1914 by the Lima Locomotive Works, was donated by UP to the city in 1958 and is currently on display in a local park. The Evanston Historic Preservation Commission has begun the fundraising effort, and has a goal of raising $10,000 to move the locomotive to Evanston’s roundhouse, where it can be restored.
The former Nickel Plate Roundhouse had fallen into disrepair over the years.
