I remember seeing this road locomotive by Coonrod when I started attending Old Threshers regularly in 1965. Mr. Coonrod was in the construction business, with cranes, heavy duty truck transporters, and etc. He was instrumental in moving engines to Mt. Pleasant to be installed in the stationary steam building. He tragically was killed on icy roads one winter when travelling to Mt. Pleasant for a board meeting of Old Threshers. Thanks for the link, Merle! (PS...While reminiscing one time about past acquaintances, a royal smart person asked, "Does everyone you know die?" Hmmm. Looks like that might be.)
