Can you imagine what that cab was like in summer in Tuskegee, Alabama? Balmy at best!
A shot of this loco as it was shipped secondhand as an 0-4-2 to Lane Brothers is on pg 97 of "Early American Steam Locomotives" 1962 Superior Publishing. Photo credited to Gerald M. Best. It had by then acquired a sand dome, wood burning stack and unbelievably still maintained that hot cab!
Mal, have you seen the other shot of the exterior of this passenger car and the wonderful interior shot that survives. Jim Crow interior to boot.
This builders photo is a wonderful addition to the history of T.Rwy! For those unaware of this RR, she operated in three different gauges over the years, 5', 3' and std. The connecting RR, M&WP was built as std gauge, yet TRwy was first 5'ga. Go figure? Cheap used equipment? Wanted to keep all equipment on line(no interchanged equipment)?
Rick Perry, just 20-25 miles away from the TRwy site
