Steam & Excursion > SP 1744Date: 02/06/20 18:19 SP 1744 Author: akpsteam Heard that SP 1744, which is on the SLRG in Colorado, has been sold. Not sure of where it's going though.

Right branch wrong bridge. This trestle is on the approach to the levy along the Tisdale Bypass south of Knights Landing. My records show the picture was taken May 4, 1958. JBWX Edited 1 time(s).

As you note, 1744 was part of the Fort Worth and Westrn steam fleet at one time before it went to New Orleans.
