Children watch as an 1876 locomotive is delivered to the Kennedy Playground at Seventh and O streets NW. There was an 1876 Baldwin steam locomotive called the Jupiter that had spent its career hauling bananas and coffee in Guatemala. At the Kennedy Playground at Seventh and O streets NW, children could climb into the cockpits of surplus T-33 jets. By the 1970s, Kennedy Playground had become a place to keep your children from, not send them to. He donated it in 1975, and it was moved from the Kennedy Playground.
