Nostalgia & History > mFile: a small & live steam engine, help neededDate: 11/23/14 08:00 mFile: a small & live steam engine, help needed Author: valmont OK, here's another from my mFile .... I'm not even sure it's an 0-6-0 ... no date, location, owner or photographer. I'm hopeful somebody can fill in the many blanks.

That is quite a strip of coal behind the engine, do they fuel it by hand or is this a coal mine switcher?

You can just barely see the pilot wheel behind the pilot itself.

shortlines or gravel pit operations in Louisiana / Mississippi / Arkansas area that ran steam into the late 1950's. Don Date: 04/17/17 19:41 Re: mFile: a small & live steam engine, help needed Author: SD45X Louisiana Eastern
Spencer Payson and his gravel pit/ He saved a lot of steam at the end. |
