Grand Trunk Western No. 8376 was one of a group of 0-8-0 switchers sent to Northwestern Steel & Wire in Sterling, Illinois, for scrapping at the end of steam operations. Instead of cutting them up, the scrappers converted a number of these engines to oil-burners, added auxiliary water tenders and kept them around to switch the plant until 1980. Thereafter some of them were stored on a siding at Galt, Illinois until acquired by several preservation efforts, including the Amboy Depot Museum in Illinois. (Amboy was on the Illinois Central's "Charter Line," abandoned in 1984.) No. 8376, of class P-5-g, was erected by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1929. The specifications of this class were similar to those of the P-5-e class listed for No. 8346, except that they weighed 215,150 pounds minus tender. I took this digital photo on July 6, 2006.
