Ohio Central
The Ohio Central held a train festival in Dennison Oh, from July 30, to August 1, 2004. They ran excursions out of Dennison with various destinations. 1293 and 6325 were the stars of the weekend. The two engines alternated pulling trains and there was always an engine running somewhere. In addition to the two mainline engines, the Ohio Central brought two other steam engines out for display and many diesels. There was also a live steam track with many miniature live steam locomotives pulling tons of people all weekend. There was also a visiting steam locomotive on display under steam.
Flagg Coal Co. 75 is owned by the Steam Railroading Institute in Michigan. 75 was trucked down to Ohio for the Train Fest. Although the engine did not pull any excursions at Train Fest, it occasionally did demonstration runs for the crowd.
