I recall seeing the 4-4-0 in the enginehouse at Silverwood. I was up there in 1989 or 1990. The friend I was traveling with arranged a shop visit during late October (off-season). I haven't had a chance to look and see if I took a slide of the engine.
As I recall, we were told that the 4-4-0 and the excursion passenger cars came from down in Texas.
Somehow, I thought the 4-4-0 was a Crown product.
Hey, wouldn't a 4-4-0 be a better engine for the folks at Grand Island than a outside frame 2-8-0?
