JACKSON, MI – A mainstay in Jackson County for more than 60 years will depart from its Jackson station after its sale last week.
The Jackson City Council approved a plan at its Tuesday, Jan. 12 meeting to sell Locomotive 5030, a train engine located in R.A. Greene Park near the Jackson Wastewater Treatment Plant, to a Pennsylvania nonprofit and tourist railroad.
Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust, located in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, between Philadelphia and Reading, agreed to pay $50,000 over five years for the 1912 relic. It plans to restore the historic car built from steel from a nearby Pennsylvania foundry and assembled within 30 miles of the railroad there.
