CLARKSBURG — For 43 years, the Locust Heights and Western Railroad’s steam locomotive has chugged along the homemade track behind Mason Machine Shop along U.S. 19 south of Clarksburg.

Family members and volunteers never charged a fee for a ride on the railroad, but they’re requesting that riders consider a donation this year to get the steam locomotive running again.

Besides the cost of insurance, paint and other supplies for the railroad, the steam locomotive’s boiler broke in August and requires about $6,000 in repairs, said Tammy Molina, daughter of the railroad’s owner, Jean Mason.
