Another mystery loco - 1907 Rohan 0-6-0
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2017 7:30 pm
Hi all,
looking for historical info on this old time 15" ga 0-6-0. Anybody know anything about the John Rohan and Sons boiler maker company, of St. Louis Missouri? Or why/for whom they would build an 0-6-0 15" gauge switcher around 1907??
Maricopa Live Steamers museum in Phoenix acquired this antique 1907 15" gauge John Rohan and Sons coal fired 0-6-0 as a barn find in Texas, and now has the loco on static display in their club's Saguero Museum Museum. Apparently three such locomotives exist today, but museum staff do not know much information about the loco's history. They are looking for additional information to help document this Builder. Anybody recognize the loco? Or know anything about turn of the century John Rohan and Sons boiler maker, of St. Louis, Missouri ??
Thanks
Glenn
