Hello,
I was looking for little facts and details on Southern Pacific/Texas State Railroad/Fort Worth and Western/Grapevine Vintage 2248 and the crews who operated her. Mostly how she ran, who was on the steam crews, repairs, how the cab looked over her life and etc. during the FWWR and TSRR days. Additional info on this locomotive during the Southern Pacific days is more than welcome. This locomotive has sparked my life long love of steam railroading and I am just trying to find out as much as possible.
Thank you for you time,
John
