Wilfred Roberge	General	Ludington & Northern # 16 is a fire survivor. In the early to mid 1970's the RR's engine shed burned to the ground and the engine too would have been destroyed had it not been for the actions of a brave C+O yard crew. The engine shed was located adjacent to the C+O interchange/yard and they saw the engine shed on fire and rather than wait for the fire department they used their locomotive to rescue the # 16. They rammed the doors of the shed to break them down, hooked up the 16 and dragged it free of the fire.	4/20/2015 3:30:26 PM
