The D&GVR fired up 1910 50-ton Climax #3 for a charter train last Sunday. The train was for the members of the West Virginia Railroad Museum.
#3 was built for the Moore-Keppel Lumber Co. of Ellamore, WV and spent its entire working career there being retire about 1960. It then spent some time at a northeastern trolley museum before coming back to WV to work about 50 miles from where she spent her youth.
At Durbin....
Out on the road to Piney Island..
Little #3 could fit inside that 40' reefer..
