Moore-Keppel Number Climax #3

In September 2003, as part of the annual WMRHS convention, I had the chance to ride behind Moore Keppel Climax #3 "The Durbin Rocket". This climax is the prototype for the 2004 HO Scale Climax by Bachmann. Below are a number of photos I took on that dreary, overcast morning. The Durbin Rocket runs on former C&O trackage in West Virginia. The WM took over some of the operation of that track late in the track's history.
