Nice photo by an unknown photographer of the only new steam locomotive that the Buffalo Creek & Gauley ever purchased - a 1926 Baldwin Consolidation. No date was provided for this photo but based on what appears to be a 1954 Ford station wagon in the photo, this might be late 1950's-early 1960's - hence the arbitrary date of 1960. The loco has since moved through several owners with the latest news being the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley RR had purchased it from the North Carolina Transportation Museum which had used it for ocassional excursions. The plans are for it to be restored and run from Durban to Cass, WV. |
