Derek Johnson General What was the locomotive on the Southern Steam excursion? 11/23/2022 8:19:12 PM
Bruce Phillips General Good question! I will have to try to locate other photos from that day. Best guess is T&P 2-10-4 610 as it ran on Alexandria - Charlottesville excursions the two previous weekends in July. I have the ticket from that day, shows one way fare Alexandria-Richmond - $8.00 ! 11/24/2022 6:51:17 AM
Lee Herbert General According to Jim Wrinn's book "Steam's Camelot", on the point of that excursion was SR's 2-8-0 #722. 11/26/2022 12:03:09 PM
