馃殏 Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad No. 643, the sole surviving H-1 class 2-10-4 "Texas" type steam locomotive engine built in 1944 by Lima Locomotive Works. Weighing around 520,000 lb, it is one of the heaviest steam locomotives ever built.
Photos from 2018, when it sat #abandoned in an impound. Now it is restored and part of the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio.
