3 Better Scans of NG in Mexico
| March 28, 2012 02:36PM |
Found these decent images to scan instead of the negs. Worked out a little better I think.
(1)Train shed at Merida with three steamers ready to go. Far right is the NG(probably the 260 which I posted before) ready to depart. Middle is the SG 4-4-0 351 ready to depart, and on the left is the yard engine...SG number 350 I think...perhaps a 4-6-0. Neat place!!
(2)N de M 3 foot gauge 2-8-0 262 on the turntable at Mexico City. This place was full of engines!!! What a neat visit that was.
(3) N de M 2-8-0 268 at unknown water stop between Pueblo and Mexico City. The everyday scene of woman getting hot water from the engines that stopped here. This was on the all-day Pueblo-Mexico City Passenger train which we all rode. We stopped for water several times, and met 2-3 freights as well.
