Roundhouse visit

I didn't plan on it, but today I visited the Midwest Railway Preservation Society at the old B&O roundhouse on West 3rd St. in the Cleveland flats.  Sometimes life gives you FUN surprises!

Reading 2100:

Unfortunately Cleveland doesn't get to keep this one!  She's just visiting!

Can anybody identify the "HZRX" reporting marks on the diesel?

UP 1861.  (I'm leaning against the missing cowlings to steady the camera.)  On the right is an Ex-Ferroequus tender that belongs to fireup2100.org.

The 2100's Vandy tender is down the line a bit.

To the left of the caboose (being careful not to take any photos of active CSX equipment in the yard to the left) you can see the diesel idling with NKP coach "Mount Baxter" which they used to take us for a short ride:

Here's the locomotive during a tour a few years ago:

And here's the object of my affection.  The old girl I haven't seen in 40 years, Ex-Grand Trunk Western mikado #4070:

Um....some assembly required!

So that was my unplanned trip to the roundhouse!
