If it's still salvageable, this would be an ideal home for B&LE 2-10-4 #643, which has been sitting for years out in the open in McKees Rocks PA.

So, that's where the other two NC Port Authority FMs went.

I've not but a few of my friends have. The roundhouse itself is impressive in it's construction let alone all the railroad goodness around and in it. I have seen a good part of the collection prior to the building of the roundhouse. When MR. Jacobson still owned the Ohio Central you could go out to Coshocton to the home office, sign a waiver, then wander out to Morgan Run(where the W&LE crossed the PRR Pittsburgh to St Louis main) where the OC's shop is and have a look around. Just stay off of the equipment and out of the shop building was all they asked. Those were good days.

WOSU our local PBS station produces a show called "Columbus Neighborhoods." Last night's episode begins with a quick trip to The Age of Steam Roundhouse.
It's not an overly long visit but it does give you an idea of the facility. The program then goes on to visit one of our train watching spots and then a quick story of how Columbus became the largest metro area with out passenger rail.  They have also done a couple other programs on railroads in Columbus.
