I was looking through the Surviving Steam Locomotive database and when i was looking at New Hampshire, it listed that a locomotive, Simons Wrecking 0-4-0T #6, is in storage across road from Clark's Trading Post, Lincoln, NH. Can anyone confirm this? what is her condition?

I believe that's the engine sitting at the entrance to Loon Mountain.

Hi
First lets clear up some information dealing with the first post , ex Simons Steel was numbered # 1 not 6 . She was built by Baldwin ,in 1925 not Alco in 1915 . This information came from Guide to the Collection which was a handout at the old Steamtown .
Next the engine sitting at Loon Mountain is NOT ex Simons Steel , she is ex New England Wood Preserving # 2 , which became Koppers #2 , engine was sold to Ed Clark in 1954 . Engine became White Mountain Central RR in 1969 . This information came from

I rode the Loon 0-4-0 when they used it to shuttle skiers to the East? West Basin.

The 0-4-0 engine you rode is a german engine that has a tender on it.The 0-4-0T is the one sitting out on the kancamangus highway in front of Loon Mt. that at one time was also owned by Clark's Trading Post,along with the other 2 0-4-0T that they have on there property.

I'm only seeing two standard gauge 0-4-0T steam locomotives in the Lincoln area. The Kopper's engine is at Clark's and it is operational. The other engine is at Loon's entrance and had been EB&L #3....surely #3 would stay in the Pemi valley?

The other 0-4-0T is not listed on their website. But they do own Simon's Wrecking #6 which is not on display. Pictures of it can be seen on Steam locomotivedotcom under surviving steam locomotives in the USA, under the new hampshire listed views.

they wanted it for a static display I met mr. hartlett the general manager of the csrr and that's what he told me.

Since they just moved the 0-4-0T by Loon Mt., so they could build a new bridge.I think maybe Clark's would sell them Simon's Wrecking, their other 0-4-0T that is not public display or on their roster.
