It's the Friday before Labor Day 2024, and we make our way to the Hesston Steam Museum as part of a three-part trip to the Hoosier state. The Hesston Steam Museum holds an annual steam and power show every Labor Day weekend. The event lasts from Friday to Monday. We decided to visit on Friday since our schedule was pretty packed the next few days. While they did not have as much running on Friday as we would've liked, what we did see was really good and unexpected. The power for the 2-/3-foot narrow-gauge passenger train on that Friday was Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk #1930: She was built in 1941 by the Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk as a 2-foot gauge 0-4-0 tank engine. She was part of a large order of 2-foot gauge 0-4-0 tank engines for the German government during World War II. However, 1930 for some reason was never delivered to Germany. As a result of this, she would remain in Czechoslovakia until the mid 1980's. A major donor to the Hesston Steam Museum found the locomotive, and transported 1930 to Hesston. The first time 1930 had a fire in her was at Hesston in 1987. Today, 1930 transports passengers on the two mile 2-/3-foot narrow-gauge railroad at the Hesston Steam Museum. *In addition to her top lever hooter, 1930 had an American whistle as well. A 5" diameter New York Central 3 chime. *Hesston also had an Avery steam tractor fired up and moving around the property, and two scaled steam locomotives running on their 14" gauge railroad. *While we were a little disappointed only one steam locomotive was running on the narrow-gauge railroad, we did not expect to see the 1930. We will definitely return to Hesston relatively soon to see the other equipment including their Shay #7. Enjoy our little look at the Hesston Steam Museum!
