Steam & Excursion > The Frisco Four-Aces

I found this print in the collection of the late Jim Adams.  It shows Frisco Ten-Wheeler #1111 at the head of a passenger train, and it apears the little passenger locomotive has some get-up-and-go!

Perhaps Frisco1522 can fill in some of the blanks on this one!

Interesting to see the semaphore crossing signal. I've seen that in a couple of other photos. 

Just tryin' to prove not all the grey matter is dead; this looks suspiciously similar to a Ray Hilner

Great catch!  Looks like the same location to me.

Good sized 10 wheeler, looks like 63" drivers.

Well done.   I think you've proven your case.   

Thanks is a very interesting location.   Thanks for helping us remember the prior post with the other great photo it provided.

That baggage car is likely full of baby chicks from Clinton, MO.    The crossing signal referenced utilized a train order semaphore blade.  I've never seen anything like it.
