Lima, Ohio's, Lincoln Park Railroad Exhibit will be open to the public on Saturday, May 19, from 12 noon to 5 pm. The exhibit includes the last steam locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1949- Nickel Plate Road Berkshire type steam locomotive 779; NKP wooden caboose 1091, and NKP Official Car No. 5 built in 1882. This equipment is original, complete and authentic thanks to the foresight of John H. Keller, Sr. of Lima. Also open will be a former DT&I small-town depot in the park. Volunteers will staff all of the equipment to answer your questions. Also arriving on the former DT&I railroad tracks next to Lincoln Park that day will be a diesel powered railroad excursion train from Springfield, Ohio, being operated by the Ohio Rail Experience. This will probably be the only open house for the Lincoln Park Railroad Exhibit in 2018. There is no admission charge to the public but donations to maintain the equipment are welcomed.
