The 612 was sold to the Cass Scenic Railroad in 1972 for proposed use on the Greenbrier Sub of the C&O for excursion service. The locomotive started a minor restoration effort in 1984 when a grant was recieved. The 612 was going to be restored when the Greenbrier Line was washed out by the 85' flood. I have seen very few pictures of this engine, and these certainly are some of the best! Thanks much! Philip Martin - Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
