OR&L 88
Author: Pullman

It's enough to keep me buying lottery tickets...

This one may be gone, but the 85 is still around, if in pieces. Sure would be nice to take it home and have it back in service.

wabash,

According to OR&L lore, they liked the ouside frame on their locomotives as they thought that it made them more stable. None of the OR&L locos were really large with the exception of the 2-8-2's which were based on the DRGW K-28's, but with different front ends and smaller tenders.
