2/12/23

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image is another archive one, this time from the railroad at Mount Pleasant Iowa, the Midwest Central.  This is the #6 also known as the Maria and is the flagship of the railroad.  It is an 1891 Baldwin Works 2-6-0 from South Carolina.  It was restored and first operated on the MC in 1960.  I took this image of it from the cab of their Shay locomotive several years ago while there for one of their Halloween runs.

  1. Looks relatively small. I suspect it took a bit of work to restore it

    1. It is fairly small. Yes, restoring any locomotive, even our really small one is quite involved.
