I certainly do, it is the wreck of Baldwin 2-8-2 195 somewhere in the river beyond Agua Caliente in 1971.
You & I saw her here only weeks apart, she was pointed out to me by Hermenegildo Tobar right after
Thankgiving when I was firing Krupp 174 on the mixed local to Zacapa. We went by her pretty fast so
I did not get a long look. Really sobering scene.

Fireman died in the accident and the engine was taken back to Guatemala City but never rebuilt. Especially
sad besides the fatality is that she had just come out of the shops.
