Queen of the narrow gauge
| February 04, 2013 01:14PM |
Hi,
I am scanning most of my photos into my computer. This photo of the Last GG1's in Wilmington DE in 1983 about a year or two after the last GG1 was retired.
I love the message "The Queen is Dead. Long Live the Queen.
With this in mind, I have two questions.
1) What is your "Queen" for a specific railroad? For example, maybe the T12 169 for D&RGW or Oahu 85 for the OR&L.
2) What is your "Queen" for all narrow gauge?
To get the ball rolling:
D&RGW - T12
ET&WNC - their 10-wheelers
BRB&L - their 2-6-4 Forneys
Overall - probably the ET&WNC 10-wheelers
