 Post subject: New Edaville steam and ex- Stewartstown Plymouth
PostPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2000 4:49 am 

Checked in at the website of the new Edaville Railroad (www.edaville.org). Found out they have just got their former Fiji sugarcane plantation steam locomotive in operation. It's a British (Fowler) built outside frame 0-6-0 tender engine. Really sharp looking... I'm a sucker for steam engines that are "hunky, chunky, and funky" and this one qualifies! Photos of its return to operation are on their website under "photos" and "new". Or go right to www.edaville.org/new141.jpg and/or www.edaville.org/new151.jpg for two of the photos.<p>A ways down this board, a few of us were discussing PA's Stewartstown Railroad and its current and past Plymouth locomotives. Former STEW Plymouth #6--the "Little Mo"-- (now numbered 9) is one of the new display locomotives at the new Edaville operation. A recent photo of her on display there can be seen at www.edaville.org/new130.jpg<p>NOTE: Although up at Edaville it's now lettered "Stewartstown #9", this Plymouth is really ex-STEW #6. The "real" STEW #9--the "Mighty MO"--is still on the Stewartstown in PA. STEW #6 left Stewartstown in 1972 for a new home on the Wolfeboro RR in NH and was renumbered there to #9... that why today there are TWO Stewartstown number 9's.<p>Gotta make the drive up there to check out that neat little Fowler under steam!<p>Regards,<br>Jim Robinson<p> <br>
