Re: (erielack) Steamer on the move

    I saw that on an RFD TV show on Chinese Steam, if you can believe
it.......the boat carrying the originally ordered engine sunk. Am I
mistaken, or was that the first new steam engine purchased in the US since
the late '40's-early '50's?

I seem to recall that the other steam locomotive purchased by Delaware
Oswego was lost at sea and rests on the bottom of the China South Sea.

It's not an Erie engine, not even close. This is a Chinese built engine,
similar, if not exactly, to the specs of the engine built for the Valley RR
in Connecticut. It is numbered just above the last NYSW steam engines.
