- A similar photograph of this train engine appeared in the Lansing State Journal on May 20, 1959, page 32. Information below comes from the caption in the newspaper. This is a 6-6-0F11 engine that had been used between Columbus and Pomeroy, Ohio. The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad moved it to the Union depot on East Michigan Avenue in Lansing for display during the Centennial of Transporation Parade in May 1959, and it was also a part of the week-long INTRAN (Industrial and Transportation) show held at the 119th Field Artillery that followed. It had been stored in Grand Rapids, Mich., and was restored for display in 1951. Originally part of the Carl Dalrymple Collection.

- Description:
- Built 1916. Photos are a part of the "Visual Views of the Elementary Schools in the Lansing School District" project of the Lansing Area Community Resources Workshop in cooperation with Michigan State University. It was compiled by Priscilla L. Shaver who was a teacher at Lewton School. The director was Frances B. Schneider. Each included school has a photo of the school building and playground. The album was created to aid students who were being moved to new schools in the hopes that they could use it to know where their new school was and what it would look like. Priscilla Shaver attended the 1971 Lansing Area Community Resources Workshop to aid in assembling this project.
