I was on the way to the cigar shop today and found this on the side of the road:
The truck was parked on route 224 at the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. I don't think there's a tender but it looks to be a 2-8-2. I think it was like a tank engine, with the coal on the back, behind the cab. Anybody know anything about it? What it is?

That’s neat, Bill! I am certainly familiar with that stretch of road, but I certainly haven’t heard anything about this engine. Which direction was it heading?
The truck and locomotive was facing towards Ohio.
Awesome!! @GG1 4877 That's pretty cool! Thanks for the info. I still gotta get down to Age of Steam.

You and me both! I'd love to get there and check it out.
age of steam is a great time
Thank you Jonathan, T-Bone!
I was finally going to go to Age of Steam last summer, but I hadn’t planned on another part of my back needing surgery. 😄 This year is it…I hope! 🤞
That's definitely it. Pretty cool stuff! I wish I was retired or had reasonable amounts of PTO so I could follow it to Age of Steam.
Thanks for the info everyone! This is a very capable group!
