Restored meter guage industrial 0-8-0 steam locomotive from East Germany. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana USA. July 2007.

I took this photo last year at the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana near the Michigan State line. This is a meter guage / U.S 2 foot track guage industrial steam locomotive that originally worked in Germany. This coal burning steam locomotive pulls tourist trains on the weekends at the museum. The locomotive and train are seen preparing to depart from the Hesston Junction open shelter station. This locomotive is an outside frame 0-8-0 type.
