Western Maryland BoWest Yard for 1000

            This is the Western Maryland T-200. It is parked on what used to be the main line through the BoWest Yard. It is stopped on the switch that leads to the engine service facility. The switch behind begins the yard ladder. The rails in the lower right corner are the rails leading to the WYE for turning locomotives. In the background sits a string of hoppers on the B&O tracks between Connellsville and Fairmont, WVa.  At this time, I believe it was still double tracked to just before entering Dunbar and these are actually stored as there are no coal loads are visible as they would be coming up from WVa. Absent from the picture is the West Penn Electric Railway. The supports for the bridge crossing the WM yard would be just to the right of the section house. They have been gone about 23 yrs when this picture was taken. Also absent is Lionel682 who once had the good fortune to get a ride in this little unique vehicle. The Western Maryland used it to ferry crews from the yard office who had overnighted in the Dunbar area to the Mainline in Connellsville with the P&WV and Cumberland. 

Below are pictures of it at the B&O Museum reunited with Lionel682 or vice versa. The B&O Museum does not seem to have it on it's equipment roster now, anyone know where it is? Is it still there?
