  1. Incredible photo! It’s hard to believe there was still steam powered equipment in use by that date.

  2. Very cool – I believe this spot is a Tim Hortons now.

    I spent time there in the summer of 2008 and is easy to imagine , once being there, how the track layout was. Crazy it’s almost all gone.

  3. Is this the last time she was ever utilized ??

  4. Can’t say for sure but this is the last time I ever saw her in use. A few years after this the C&O line was closed and traffic transferred to the CASO

  5. Curiosity begs the question – was this coal or oil fired by this time? Really not too familiar with Steam cranes… :) Sorry if this is a silly question!
