Way back in '67 when I was a teenager my mom drove me and my cousin to Camden, Texas where I took pictures of each engine. One little 2-6-0 I believe had safety valves that were on long weighted levers, just like a pressure cooker. It also had the tallow funnels on the back head for axle lubrication. The whole place looked like they didn't throw anything away! We rode the mixed train but by then they had a GE 44 ton diesel doing the work. It is nice to know that all of these old engines are still around though not in the same place.
