C&O 2716: Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation

Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation is currently spearheading an aggressive effort to restore C&O 2716. No. 2716 is a class K-4 2-8-4 "Kanawha" type steam locomotive built in 1943 by the American Locomotive Company for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.

In addition to their plans to restore no. 2716 to service, Kentucky Steam has aggressive plans to turn their campus into a tourist attraction, called The Yard, that will help invigorate the local economy of Estill County.

We visited the folks at Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation in March of 2021 and sat down with their Chief Mechanical Officer, Jason Sobczynski. Make yourself comfortable as Jason fills you in on the organization's history, latest work, and plans for the future.
