▶︎ Specifications Baldwin 152 • This 4-6-0 was built in 1920 by Baldwin for the United States Government. It was later put to use by the Alaska Railroad in standard gauging their lines and used on the ARR's Chatanika Branch until 1930. In 1943, was transferred from storage at the Alaska Railroad to the US War Department in Seattle, Washington. In 1963, the locomotive went to the Camino, Cable, & Northern Railway in California. When the line shut down in 1974, the engine was sold to the Keystone Locomotive Works. In 1975, the Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission bought the 4-6-0 and restored it into operation by 1976. In 1990, #152 went back in for maintenance but resumed operating by 1994. In 2008, went out of service once more for a much needed rebuild. The rebuilding finally began with sufficient funding in 2016 slated to take 5 years but was completed July 2018 at a cost of just over $1 million. This was once the primary engine on the Huckleberry Railroad but DRGW 2-8-2 #464 took over that position during rebuilds. The #464 is going to be rebuilt.

▶︎ A little story about me: I am a retired shop teacher, I spent 36 years teaching Graphic Arts, Vocational Printing Trades, Photography along with extra duties like Drivers Education, & Yearbook Advisor.
I started teaching shop in the fall of 1974. We had seven full time shop teachers. (Industrial Education)
Auto Shop
Construction • Built A House
Drafting, Mechanical & Architectural
Graphic Arts
Small Engines • Marine & Lawn
Metal Shop
Wood Shop
In the late 90’s Industrial Education had to deal with new state guidelines called: Core Curriculum. This put a strong emphasis on the college prep program for all Michigan Students. Needless to say the students had no room in the school day for elective classes and this put Industrial Education out of business
I also took shop classes in High School. Mr. Pasternak and Mr. Mathers were my high school shop teachers and they got me started at Central Michigan University to become a Michigan Shop Teacher.
I would not want to be a high school student today. No shop classes.
