You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Collection description==

===Ohio Public Service #21===
Car #21 was the first piece acquired by the museum in 1947. It was moved to the museum grounds in 1948. The car is a fine example of wooden interurban car construction as of the 1900-1910 period. It was built by the [[Niles Car and Manufacturing Company]] of [[Niles, Ohio]] in 1905. It is considered a combination passenger-baggage type interurban. The car is ((convert|50|ft|6|in|m)) long and weighs 60,500 pounds. It is equipped with four [[General Electric]] number 263A ((convert|65|hp|abbr=on)) motors, one General Electric type K-34D2 controller and one [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886)|Westinghouse]] 3817 air compressor. Car #21 and its sister #20 both had a baggage compartment at the front, a smoker section seating 12, and a main passenger section seating 34. The car is single-ended and is operated from the baggage compartment. Also inside the baggage compartment is an early telephone that could be used for communications with the dispatcher by hooking the leads over a phone line strung along the track. The interior of the car is finished in quartered oak, originally with leather seats in the smoking compartment and plush seats in the passenger section. The car is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].

===Norfolk & Western #578===
((Main|Norfolk and Western 578))
[[Norfolk and Western 578]] is a [[4-6-2]] "Pacific" E2a steam locomotive built in March 1910 by the [[American Locomotive Company]]'s Richmond Works. The full length including the tender is ((convert|90|ft|9|in|m)). The weight fully loaded is 285 tons (259 t). The 6 sets of wheels from front to back are two sets of ((convert|33|in|mm|adj=on)) wheels for the pilot truck, 3 sets of ((convert|70|in|m|adj=on)) wheels for the drivers, and one set of ((convert|42|in|mm|adj=on)) wheels for the trailing truck. The tender has 2 Buckeye steel built 6 wheel trucks each wheel at 33&nbsp;inches. The full height of the locomotive is ((convert|15|ft|9|in|m)) The fuel capacity is 26 tons of coal and 18,000 U.S. gallons (68,000 L) of water. This locomotive was donated to the Ohio Railway Museum on February 12, 1959, from the Norfolk and Western Railway Company.

Norfolk & Western #578 is the last surviving one of 26 E2a locomotives built for the Norfolk and Western Railway Company. Numbers 553-558 were built by the [[Baldwin Locomotive Works]] while numbers 559-563 were built by the Norfolk & Western shops at Roanoke and numbers 564-579 were built by Alco's Richmond Works.

The 4-6-2 designation indicates that there are four wheels in the pilot truck, six driving wheels, and two wheels in the trailing truck. The term "Pacific" was given to this wheel arrangement because it was first used on the [[Missouri Pacific Railroad]]. The E2a locomotives were first used for mainline passenger service and later for branch line service when replaced by larger equipment. The E2a's could pull up to 8 heavy [[Pullman (car or coach)|Pullman]] passenger cars at 70 miles per hour. Through the years, these locomotives were equipped with various types of tenders. The current tender on #578 is the largest used with any E2a and is originally from a larger [[4-8-2]] "Mountain" type locomotive. It is equipped with a stoker and can be operated with an auxiliary tender for greater range. #578 was assigned to the Scioto division operating into Columbus from 1917 to 1944, and was transferred to the Norton branch from Bluefield, West Virginia to Norton, Virginia, and was retired from service in December 1958 after a 48-year career.

===Marble Cliff Quarries #1===
This 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotive was built in 1924 by the [[Vulcan Iron Works]]. It is ((convert|20|ft|m)) long (6 m) and weighs ((convert|40,000|lb|kg)) and has 4 drivers, each measuring ((convert|33|in|mm)) in length. It was donated to the museum in 1954 in operating condition after service with the Marble Cliff Quarries Company. It was used by the museum to pull N&W #578 onto the museum property.

In 2006, the engine was cosmetically restored and Loaned to The Depot Rail Museum.<ref>((cite web| url=http://www.the-depot.org/| title=(home)| website=The Depot Rail Museum))</ref> In 2018 #1 was moved back to the museum property and is on display again.
