So for my next favorite the Hohenzollern locomotive
But this engine has killer bees in the throttle and boiler in the cab, since this picture was taken in July, some low paid worker "borrowed" a company cutting torch and torched of the throttle an top of the boiler in the cab and cut into the rear boiler sheet where the water glass used to be...were they trying to get at the bees to remove them or were they trying to get something that looked like solid brass for sale as scrap metal...we may never know
Long time ago she look like this, notice even then the extra sand dome
