Steam Saturday: A Visit to Sugarcreek

It is Sept. 5, 2012, in Sugarcreek. I had been informed that the Age of Steam Roundhouse would be sending one of its locomotives to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for Steam in the Valley 2012.

I had hoped to get there soon enough to catch the locomotive on the turntable at the roundhouse, but I was too late. Still, what a beautiful sight the roundhouse is.

There was smoke rising behind the roundhouse. How impressive and almost timeless the facility is.  

Central Ohio 1293 (formerly Canadian Pacific 1293/Ohio Central 1293) is on its way north. What a true gem that locomotive is.
