Nice old photo of the Western & Atlantic RR "Texas", after yard service duty. 1880's perhaps? Would it have been 5 foot gauge then or standard?

Actually Bob, I belive that photo is of the Texas either shortly before or shortly after it was rescued for display, first outside in Atlanta's Grant Park. Notice the disconnected main rods, which means it was after the wholesale 1886 conversion of Southern railroads to 4' 8.5". She sure looks much nicer today.
