The star of the show was Ohio Central 6325, an Alco 4-8-4 built for
the Grand Trunk Western in 1942. Ohio Central purchased it in 1992 and
first operated it in 2001. It was under steam for the festival, but
did not pull passengers while I was there.

There were two 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotives. Flagg Coal Co. 75
was built by Vulcan in Feb 1929. It is owned by the
Michigan State Trust
for Railway Preservation.
Ohio Central 3 was built by Alco Schenectady in 1926 for Southern Wood
Preserving (same number).

Ohio Central 13 (in Buffalo Creek & Gauley paint) is a 2-8-0 built by
Alco Brooks in Jan 1920 for Kellys Creek & Northwestern as number 6,
then became BC&G 13.
It has been one of the steam locomotives assigned to OC's excursion train
in Sugarcreek, Ohio, but was in storage in 2004.
