When I saw the #52 in 2000, it was still located in town surrounded by weeds. I seem to remember seeing the wheel laying on the ground next to the engine.
My question is, how did the wheel fall off? Was it mishandled or something at some point when it was moved? How else would a drive wheel just fall off? (GLRR #12 non-withstanding)
