[quote user="Quincymine"]In 1975, Locomotive #6, a 3ft. narrow gauge Baldwin, outside frame, Consolidation went out to the Pine Creek Railroad at Allaire State Park in New Jersey. Their intentions to restore and run it on their excursion railroad were noble but the reality of such an undertaking was more than could be accomplished. It sat for 34 years. After extensive negotiations and excellent cooperation of all parties involved, #6 is heading back to its home at the Quincy Mine in the Copper Country of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The cab and stack have been removed to lower the overall height and it will be loaded on a low boy trailer on Monday, June 15th. In order to keep from having to obtain additional permits in Indiana and Illinois, the plan is to cross Lake Michigan on the former C&O car ferry, the SS Badger, from Ludington to Manitowoc. A section of track has been laid in front of the Q&TLRR Enginhouse for the locomotive where restoration/preservation work can begin.[/quote]   Thanks for that information.  I had heard that #6 was being returned.  What exactly is the plan for #6 when it is returned to Quincy location?  What is planned for the snowplow that went to Pine Creek with #6?
