Age of Steam Statement on the Passing of Jerry Joe Jacobson

Welcome to the Age of Steam Roundhouse

 

AGE OF STEAM STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF JERRY JOE JACOBSON

 

WE ARE AN OPERATING MUSEUM, AND OFFER OCCASIONAL, PRE-SCHEDULED SUMMERTIME TOURS FOR LARGE GROUPS!

 

Wishing to share with others his passion for the steam locomotive, Jerry Joe Jacobson established the Age of Steam Roundhouse (AoSRH).

The Age of Steam Roundhouse will seek to:

  1. Preserve the steam locomotives, historic diesels, passenger cars and other railroad relics in the collection of the late Jerry Joe Jacobson
  2. Construct a full-scale, operating and realistic roundhouse and back shop to overhaul, repair and maintain Jerry’s rolling stock
  3. On occasion, fire-up and operate a few of the steam locomotives on non-passenger carrying and non-revenue freight trains
  4. Display and interpret this railroad heritage for the edification, enlightenment and entertainment of future generations
  5. Because Jerry Jacobson sold the neighboring Ohio Central Railroad, the Age of Steam Roundhouse will not be sponsoring any sort of steam passenger excursions on that line.

The entire Age of Steam Roundhouse and site are being constructed and maintained with private funds donated by Jerry Joe and Laura Jacobson. The roundhouse and back shop were completed in late 2011, with other buildings and structures being completed later during this massive undertaking. Additionally, an endowment has been established so that the monumental construction work of the Age of Steam Roundhouse and the treasures it contains may be guaranteed continued existence into the future.

Since the Age of Steam Roundhouse no longer owns a railroad line, we will not be running passenger excursion trains, but numerous times each year AoSRH steam and diesel locomotives will be used to power freight trains across the rails of neighboring railroads.
