The loco served for nearly 28 years before being sold for scrap to George T. Cook Company on 11/20/1956.

Marcus W General That's cool; you got a shot of one of these with their original 73" drivers. In 1941-ish, the class got new 80" boxpok drivers and a new frame, and were converted to burn oil. 3/18/2020 9:30:11 PM
