Hello all,
First time I ever posted, so please forgive my rookie flubs and if there is a better place to post this. Not sure if this is of interest at all: Based on this thread, i purchased a copy of The Steam Locomotive in America by AW Bruce. Great book! The book came from South Carolina.
Upon opening the book, out falls a faded newspaper clipping (scan attached). Its from the Charleston News and Courier dated Jan 20 1964. It says:
"Number 32 moves up North. Number 32, a 68 ton Baldwin 10 wheeler from South Carolina's 17 mile Hampton and Branchville Railroad, is being repaired by the York Southern group which has been running excursions - temporarily diesel powered - on the 38 mile Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad. Officials hope Number 32 will make a shakedown trip out of York PA sometime this winter"
I would just like to add what a great group you all are, generous with your knowledge. Thanks to and inspired by you all, i hauled out my original Lionel, started tuning it up and got my Grandson hooked.
