== History ==
The "Luraville Locomotive" is known to be one of the United States' Oldest steam locomotives ever built, it was possibly built between 1850 and 1855 and it was designed to burn wood as back then, American locomotives were burning wood, not coal. It was believed that it had a cowcatcher but it's unknown, it was used to haul passenger trains. But when it sunk it was owned by the Bach Brothers Logging Co., who ran a sawmill near Luraville, Suwannee County, Florida.
Around 1900, the locomotive was lost on a barge while it was traversing the Suwannee River, and it fell into the river and was left there for 79 years. Residents knew it was there, but nobody could really do much about the locomotive. It was later recovered from the Suwannee River in 1979 by a Luraville resident named "James Lancaster" who decided to take it upon himself to retrieve the locomotive from it's spot.
The Luraville Locomotive was later donated to the Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer services for preservation, it was cosmetically restored and put on static display in Tallahassee, Florida.
