CPRR 63, Leviathan, at Train Fest 2011  Contributor's Pick!       
We're looking at the engineer's side of Central Pacific #63, called Leviathan. This engine was a big hit at the 2011 Train Fest. She was surely one of the most beautiful displays there. I don't have any other information as to builder, date of construction, etc., but I was glad to see an engine like this. ADDITIONAL NOTE: thanks to John Teeter, who provided excellent supplemental material regarding this engine.

John Teeter General If my information is correct [and I think it is]; you're looking at a locomotive made in Ohio. Another contributor just recently was given the honor of watching this locmotive being conveyed to a function in Ohio [in fact, those albums were uploded today] 4/19/2014 1:52:08 PM

John Teeter General A Mr. David Kloke, in Sugarcreek OH, could give you a lot of good, correct, pertinent information about this loco; he owns it, and he built it. 4/19/2014 1:59:45 PM
