Everett 11 The Morrisons Cove Mogul

On May 21, 2022 the Everett Railroad ran their second Steam into the Cove excursion of the year. This trip, the longest they offer, runs 13 miles from Hollidaysburg on the edge of the Altoona metro area through the McKee Gap to the rural farmland of Morrisons Cove and the towns of Roaring Spring and Martinsburg. The train was pulled by the railroad’s stalwart little 2-6-0 number 11, a 1920 produce of the American Locomotive Company. After a century of burning coal, the engine was converted to oil firing this past winter – clearly evidenced by the clean stack through the journey. Regardless of fuel type, the little mogul made for a great display of shortline Appalachian railroading to the delight of passengers and chasers alike.
