...and here is one of the German 2-8-2s. Think this could be rebuild and run in the U.S.ofA., perhaps on the SVRR? Note that the citizenry of Guatemala is stripping metal away from the railroad sysem and it's only a matter of time when they'll attack the rolling stock and engines; a culture that destroys modernization and its own better future. So sad.
