N&S 55 Davenport running at Old Threshers
| November 15, 2012 12:17PM |
I recently acquired these three slides of N&S Coal No. 55 in operation at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion. I knew that it was rebuilt by Midwest Central for a private owner, but I did not know that it was ever used to haul passengers during the reunion. The date on the slides is 1992. Is this the only year it was used there?
Later it was traded to Walt Disney World, where it briefly became the "Ward Kimball," and it's now running in Ohio on the Cedar Point & Lake Erie (as a 2-4-0 - it's been rebuilt and a tender has been added).
