Work began that Sunday to start removing the locomotive and tender, but only light work, as the

creek needed to recede before hfting #67 out of the creek. The Eaening Republican of

March L5, l9LO had an article noting that B&LE crews were starting to drive piling to rebuild

the bridge, which aided in lifting the Mogul out of its watery bed. The #67 was repaired and

served the Bessemer until 1936 when it was retired and sold to United Iron & Metal of Baltimore,

Maryland for scrap. Interestingly, United lron & Metal is still in business with two facilities in Baltimore.

Thanks go out to Ron Stafford, Dennis Mead for obtaining tbe artic le from Neuspapers. com,

ntbicb bad tbe original article of tbe Meadaille Eaening Republican of Marcb 7, 1910. Inforrnation on

tbe locomotiue u)as obtainedfrom Tbe Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad by Roy C. Beauer.
