.                        As the final years of World War Two were winding down, the Allies needed to restore railway operations in Europe.  Locomotives like the #711 were constructed with profiles to permit them to operate in the tight spaces of temporary bridges and damaged tunnels.   The #711 actually has two separate motors for dependable operations.  It served it's past few years in service at Cargill grain company in Bloomfield (Southwest of Washington Courthouse Ohio).

. #2 ex-Ohio Power Company  0-4-0  Fireless Cooker
.                     Extremely rare today are these special Steam Engines that didn't have a firebox.  Often used to switch cars at chemical plants and other industries where a firebox's flames might cause an explosion, these thermos bottles  saw service into the 1960's.  Not having a traditional firebox these engines relied on an external supply of steam which made limited operations possible before another charge of steam was necessary.   HVSRY #2  is currently awaiting cosmetic restoration.

. #3 ex-Ohio Power Company 0-6-0 switcher
.                         This Loco was a common type of  Switcher steam engine used through-out  yesterday's  railroads and industries.  Because of its small size it was especially suited for the tight curves of  industrial track.
