Locomotive No. 97 operates at the Valley Railroad in Essex, Connecticut. It's a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type locomotive, built in 1923 by the American Locomotive Company's Cooke Works. Originally destined for Cuba, it was instead sold to the Birmingham and Southeastern Railroad in Alabama. It was later acquired for tourist service, renumbered 97, and has been operating in Connecticut since the early 1970s.
