Ohio Museum - N&W E2 #587 up for "grabs"

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

NCTM may be the best candidate, both geographically and from the possible 
operation point of view.  Other possibilities in the East; Strasburg PA, and 
Steamtown Nat'l Historic Site in Scranton PA.  Both have the capability to restore 
and maintain the loco.  Considering the history of VTM, the E2 would be 
consigned to outside storage in whatever condition it would arrive in Roanoke.  My 
fantasy of a few years ago that VTM could operate steam around the Roanoke 
belt line ain't gonna happen.  Same for any idea of resuming fan trips from 
Roanoke to Bluefield.  That's history / Gone with the Wind.  Amen.
