BM 3713 |
| Description: |
Steamtown's Boston & Maine Pacific still undergoing restoration inside the restoration shop. A 1934 product of the Lima Locomotive Works, the 3713 was one of the locomotives part of a contest that the B&M held for schoolchildren living along their railroad to name the engines. This locomotive was given the name "Constitution", which lasted through most of its service life. Retired in the 1950s, it would be sold to F. Nelson Blount through the Edaville Railroad as one of the first locomotives that would make up the Steamtown collection. It is currently one of two 4-6-2 type engines from New England under restoration to active service, the other MEC 470 at Ellsworth, ME. |
