Artifact Overview
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad steam locomotive number 79 was photographed taking on coal at Jackson, Ohio, in 1924. The following year, the locomotive was modified to burn oil in hopes of lowering fuel costs, reducing smoke and improving efficiency. While the experiment apparently was successful, no other DT&I steam locomotives were converted.
