JTBX SD-M #814 - Hoosier Valley RR Museum
Title:  JTBX SD-M #814 - Hoosier Valley RR Museum
Description:  Interesting locomotive at the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum was pulling into the station after a tourist train trip into the Hoosier landscape. Originally built at DMIR SD9 #162, it bounced onto the EJE roster as their #814 and onto several other rosters before landing at the museum. Looks great and still in a form of DMIR colors too.

EJE SD-M #818 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Title:  EJE SD-M #818 - Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Description:  Quite a surprise when I spotted former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern loco #818. Much like JTBX #814 at the Hoosier Valley RR Museum, this loco started out as Duluth, Missabee & Eastern SD9 #172. It bounced to the EJE and then onto several other rosters before landing in the Hoosier Valley RR Museum in all its orange J splendor.

HVRM 44tonner #509 - Hoosier Valley RR Museum
Title:  HVRM 44tonner #509 - Hoosier Valley RR Museum
Description:  This little workhorse I suspect is the shop "goat" to help move pieces at the museum. Originally built in August of 1941 as Durham & Southern #4-44, it finally found a new home at the museum.

RPCX BL2 #56 - nee BAR #556
Title:  RPCX BL2 #56 - nee BAR #556
Description:  Originally built as Bangor & Aroostook BL2 #556 but wearing the Saratoga & North Creek colors, somehow it was eventually purchased by a private owner and brought to the Hoosier Valley RR Museum. It looks spectacular in near mint condition and was started up not long ago. I have a particular fondness for the BL2's. They are the ugly EMD duckling but now looks strangely beautiful.

CO 2-8-4 #2789 Tender - Chiesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-4 #2789 Tender - Chiesapeake & Ohio
Description:  Sadly, the only thing that could be viewed of the massive Chesapeake & Ohio 2-8-4 #2789 is its tender sitting outside the shops. The loco, under a long time restoration, was not open for viewing in the shops.

CO 2-8-4 #2789 Tender - Chiesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-4 #2789 Tender - Chiesapeake & Ohio
Description:  This is the backside of the tender, not even labeled. Sadly, the loco itself is under a long term (if ever) restoration inside the shops and not open to the public, at least when we were there. I remember taking photos of this beautiful Kanawha 2-8-4 loco back in 2011 while it was undergoing restoration. It's still there and I still have my hope to ride behind it someday! They better hurry up - I'm getting old!
