WAB 0-6-0 #534 - Wabash RR
Title:  WAB 0-6-0 #534 - Wabash RR
Description:  With a tender loaded with coal and a head of steam up, it looks like this Alco-Rhode Island 0-6-0 steam yard switcher is ready for its next assignment. Built in August of 1906, the little switcher lasted until being sold to the Lake Erie & For Wayne RR as their #1. It was eventually retired in March of 1957 to the city of Fort Wayne, IN. The loco was on display in Swinney Park but in 1975, it was moved to the Fort Wayne Historical Park in New Haven, IN. There is is undergoing restoration. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo.

LE&FW 0-6-0 1, ex-WAB 0-6-0 534 Tender Shell
Title:  LE&FW 0-6-0 1, ex-WAB 0-6-0 534 Tender Shell
Description:  Sitting outside on an Illinois Terminal flatcar is the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne tender shell. Hopefully it can be restored along with its steam engine to its right place as an historic piece of railroading. A difficult project but hopefully it will be done if the FWHS thinks it is possible. They should know - they brought back NKP 765 to life!
