Last Surviving Hocking Valley Railway Locomotive
The only surviving locomotive of the Hocking
Valley Railway is C&O 2-8-0 no. 701, which was originally HV no. 171. Still in fairly good condition, this historic locomotive
currently rests at a park in Covington, Virginia. Her final
working days were stationed out of Clifton Forge, VA, working the Hot Springs
Branch.
Thanks to Grant Geist for providing the first two pictures.
