1963 From R/t Aug. 30, 2000
Railroad Park Here?
In
1963 a formal request for the gift of a steam-powered locomotive
to be permanently displayed in the city was filed with the Nickel
Plate Railroad by Joe Deahl, Chairman of the Fostoria Railroad
Committee named by Mayor Phil Brubaker.
The committee composed
of Deal, Robert McCandless, yard-master for the Nickel Plate Road,
Gene Kinn of WFOB, and Harry Stoneberger of The Review Times.
The committee also
took preliminary steps to organize a Fostoria Railroad Club, dedicated
to the preservation of equipment of the Iron Horse age.
The four committee
members became the first members of the Railroad Club.
On Nov. 19, 1963,
Fostoria City concil passed an ordiance (A-964), designating
a railroad park on the east side of Wood St. in the 300 block,
between Crocker and South streets and west of
and adjacent to the Midblock underpass, to be available for the
installation of a railroad locomotive, if obtained.
City officials said
the locomotive could be put on a deep concrete fondation on the
site.
Efforts to secure
the engine never materialized and the railroad park was never
utilized.
