Quite some time ago I took photos of a big steam engine sitting in a park in Newport News, Va. It looked in decent shape surrounded by a fence. The engine was marked as a C&O 2756, a 2-8-4. Does anyone know if the engine is still there ?? I don't get down that way any more and was curious. A nice size to restore for running.
Considering both 765 and 1225 are both 2-8-4 locomotives already operating and another C&O 2-8-4 is undergoing a restoration I'd have to question wanting to restore another one.
The 765 and 1225 are berkshire locomotives... the 2756 is a Kanawha... big difference.
Really? Please explain to all of us what the wheel arrangement is on the 765 & 1225, as compared to that 2756!

I suspect (though can't prove) that he was trying to be funny--like claiming that Mikados and McArthurs are "completely different engines." That's where these come in handy:
