B&O Grasshopper

Doug Edwards posted on Chasi.org:

The B&O grasshopper engine was built by the late Harry Harvey of Portland, Or. Harry was one of the founders of the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers, located just outside of Molalla, Or. The engine was often run backwards to keep the coal smoke out of ones eyes, or a pipe stuck in the stack to try to get it to go over the engineer. Location does not look like PNWLS.
  • The B&O grasshopper engine was built by the late Harry Harvey of Portland, Or. From eBay.com, August 2020. Seller stated that the slide was stamped June 1970.
