 Post subject: Little Buttercup photos?
PostPosted: Thu Jul 29, 2004 2:33 pm 

Has anyone seen any good photos of the Santa Fe's Little Buttercup on the internet? This was the onetime saddletank shop engine at Needles, California that was transformed into an "old time" tender engine for the 1948 Chicago RR Fair. It is now at Sacramento, under a tarp in the old erecting shop.

Check below, not the best picture. There are various pictures in books/publications for example "Railroads" by David Lustig. There are better pictures of it out there. It used to be in the Central Pacific passenger station exhibit, I remember seeing it there when it was all together.

Here's a shot of it, sans stack. It normally wears a diamond stack.
