Thanks to all of our members who supported our efforts on bringing Locomotive 801 back to life, we are very, very close!

Baldwin Locomotive Works No. 26 🚂✨ Built in 1929, this 0-6-0 switcher spent decades working in Pennsylvania and Ohio before finding its home at Steamtown. After a full restoration, it steamed back to life in 2016 and now gives visitors rides through the yard. #TrainLovers #Baldwin26 #SteamLocomotive #Steamtown #RailroadHistory #HistoricTrains #Railfans | Train Lovers
