Here’s a photo of the Ohio River & Columbus Railways locomotive No.500 sitting on N&W’s old passing track with the Sardina depot in the background. The locomotive looks like a Baldwin 4-6-0 with its original number board from the railroad it was built for, definitely 2nd hand for the OR&C. The OR&C was started in 1901 and ended up being 24.42 miles long. The photo is dated March 10, 1908. Unknown photographer, Ed Fannin collection 8x10 reprint. The map is 1912.
