About 0-4-0T Steam Locomotive
A 0-4-0T No. 1 steam locomotive manufactured by H. K. Porter was displayed outside the Kenova Historical Commission building in Kenova, West Virginia for decades. 1 On June 27, 2024, contractors used a crane to relocate the locomotive to the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation site in Ravenna, Kentucky, where it will be restored and operated.
The 0-4-0T was built between December 1918 and January 1919 as W.E. Calihan Construction No. 1 in Columbus, Ohio. 1 It was later moved to Williamsport, Maryland, where it served as the Potomac Edison Company No. 1 and eventually became the Vulcan Iron Works No. 2886.
