Ohio Museum - N&W E2 #587 up for "grabs"

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The most important thing is to get the word out.  If you know of any quality 
musuems or private groups, call, fax, write, or email them about the 
engine's availabilty.  Also, be prepared to donate money, or help in some 
sort of fund raising program.  Does anyone know of any government grants 
that could be obtained to help move and preserve the 578?
Personally, I would like to see the Ohio Central get it.  They have an 
active steam excursion program, and have shown interest in the engine in the 
past.
