Lost Engine of Newsbury

Simons Wrecking Co. no. 2 is a Porter 0-6-0T. She was once part of F. Nelson Blount's Steamtown collection, but was sold at some point before Steamtown moved to Scranton, PA. Stripped down for a restoration to steam that never came, she languished for many years in an auto salvage yard in Newbury, MA. She was rescued from the junkyard in 2006, and taken to Peabody, Massachusetts, where a cosmetic restoration was started in preparation for display in a city park.
