Grand Trunk 6325 Restoration Rollout (Ohio Central Railroad)
On July 30, 2001 the Ohio Central Railroad and Jerry Jacobson rolled out former Grand Trunk Western class U-3-b (4-8-4) Northern-type steam locomotive #6325 following her restoration. Following a day of testing and adjustments to her appliances, the next day, July 31, with Mr. Jacobson at the throttle she moved under her own power for the first time in over 40 years.
The video was recorded at the Ohio Central's Morgan Run Shops near West Lafayette, OH. Although idle, the 6325 now resides, protected from the elements in the Age of Steam Roundhouse near Sugarcreek, OH.
