Title:
CO 0-8-0 #79 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Originally built as Hocking Valley #109 by Lima Locomotive Works in 1926, it now sits in a scrap line awaiting the scrapper's torch in an unidentified yard. No exact date was given but most were scrapped between 1950-53. R.D. Patton photo. With Jonathan Spurlock's help (see comment below), I agree that the location probably is Richmond so have changed it accordingly. Thanks again, Jonathan!
