The #3 is now at Steamtown in Scranton. Great shot too.

Those two little engines appear to have been quite well cared for, reflecting a level of pride lost in the nearly half century since this picture was taken.

No doubt the saddle tank engines were placed so they could exchange whistles with the Ramble.

The Lavino engines at their plant in Reusens, VA, just upstream from Lynchburg, used to put on shows for the Old Dominion Chapter, NRHS, (Richmond, VA) in the early Sixties when they ran fan trips up the James River on the C&O. The furnace, located at MP 150+-, produced ferro-manganese and closed for good in August, 1967. One of the Engines, #34, resides at the Transportation Museum in Roanoke, along with other noteable steamers including N&W 611 and N&W 1218. Perhaps you've heard of them?
