Yesterday Q&TL 2-8-0 #6 was lifted onto a trailer for its trip back to its home state from its current location in New Jersey. The Quincy Mine Hoist group is planning to cosmetically restore the outside frame 2-8-0. If all goes well the locomotive should be hitting the road today. However anyone from Ohio reading this thinking they might get a chance to see the engine as it passes through you wont. Ohio will not allow the locomotive to travel through the state so its going the long way down and around Ohio. Sorry I only have a picture on my cell phone. I forgot my camera.
