[PAR] [TLE] Grand Trunk Western 6325 [SEP] Grand Trunk Western 6325 is a 4-8-4 (Northern) type steam locomotive built in 1942 by the American Locomotive Company for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad.  As a member of the dual service U-3-b class, the 6325 handled heavy passenger and freight work for the Grand Trunk Western.  In 1946, the 6325 gained notoriety for pulling United States President Harry S. Truman's election campaign train through the state of Michigan.  Retired in 1959, the locomotive was donated for display to the city of Battle Creek, Michigan where a failed restoration attempt left the 6325 in danger of being scrapped.  Purchased in 1993 by Jerry Jacobson of the Ohio Central Railroad, the locomotive sat in storage for six years until being restored to operating condition in 2001 for use on excursion trains across the Ohio Central System.  The locomotive is currently stored, out of service pending an overhaul at the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, Ohio [PAR] [TLE] Harry S. Truman [SEP] Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–53), assuming that office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt during the waning months of World War II.  He is known for launching the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, for leading the Cold War against Soviet and Chinese communism by establishing the Truman Doctrine and NATO, and for intervening in the Korean War.  In domestic affairs, he was a moderate Democrat whose liberal proposals were a continuation of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, but the conservative-dominated Congress blocked most of them.  He used the veto power 180 times, more than any president since then, and saw 12 overridden by Congress; only Grover Cleveland and Franklin D. Roosevelt used the veto so often, and only Gerald Ford and Andrew Johnson saw so many veto overrides.  He is also the only world leader to have ever used nuclear weapons in war, desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces, supported a newly independent Israel, and was a founder of the United Nations.
