This day in Railroad History
May 13, 1949
The last steam locomotive from the erecting halls of Lima Locomotive Works in Ohio was delivered to the Nickel Plate Road. NPR #779 is a 2-8-4. It was later donated to the City of Lima, Ohio where it resides today at the John H. Keller Memorial Railroad Exhibit at Lincoln Park. Lima Locomotive built steam locomotives ranging from "Super Power" locomotives like Southern Pacific Railroad's GS-4 class #4449 to dimunitive two-truck Shay geared locomotives. Lima had established its new plant in South Lima Ohio in 1903. After leaving the locomotive market, the Lima plant continued to build cranes and other construction equipment until 1980.
