A short clip of the Museum's Plymouth MDT 40Ton switcher. This is was donated to the museum by HRK Holdings. HRK assumed control over the old Piney Point Plant in northern Manatee county. This engine was on the grounds and was not needed by HRK. the interesting thing about this locomotive is, It was bought new by Borden Chem (the previous owner of Piney Point) and since it was delivered to them in the 60's. It has NEVER left Manatee County. So it's local history for the museum is great. When we received the engine, all we did was flush the fuel and installed new fuel filters and boom she ran.
