Steam Engine & Passenger Car in Liberty SC 1976 - Any Info?
Author: krm152

Just off the scanner are the posted photos of a steam engine and passenger car taken in Liberty SC on 8/28/1976.
Any info you have on this equipment would be most appreciated.

I don't know about the car but the locomotive went to the museum in Atlanta around 79 or 80.
