Black and White Photo, Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 #759 at Conneaut, Ohio on its first trip in 1968. Ross Rowland leased the engine for his HIGH IRON COMPANY, from Steamtown and the engine was legendary until 1973, when it was returned to Steamtown. Shortly before this photo the champaign bottle was broken over the coupler, before the engine hauled the train eastward.
