Midwest Central RR 2008 - 0-4-0T #16
Here's some footage I shot of the Midwest Central Railroad during the 2008 Old Threshers Reunion in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. This video features the Henschel 0-4-0T #16 steam locomotive. This engine was built in 1951 in Germany and is the only coal-burner on the MCRR. I like to call this engine "Percy" due to its many resemblances to the Thomas & Friends character. He's one neat little engine!

Here's some video I shot of the Midwest Central Railroad during the 2008 Midwest Old Threshers Reunion in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. This video features the 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive, "Maria" #6. This engine, built in 1891 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, is the oldest engine operated by the MCRR. It's a great engine to see in operation.
