An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

In 1975, Number 7 was donated to the Central Florida Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS). It took several volunteers working three weekends to dig out the siding and move the engine to its new home Apopka, FL. That was February, 1976. The Central Florida Chapter preserved the engine for years, but weren't able to raise the funds needed do a full restoration. In January, 1982, Number 7 was purchased by the Gold Coast Chapter of NRHS. The photo at right shows the engine just before it was moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL.
