Ex-Santa Fe 2-6-2, sold to an east Texas lumber road. A group in Shreveport, LA reportedly got this one several years ago. Did they ever take it to Shreveport? Progress report, photos? http://www.steaminthewoods.com/TatumLCo ... rdepot.jpg |

My understanding is that it is in Shreveport, not far from the yard. I have had no luck finding it, much less photographing it. McNeill Pumping Station in Shreveport is a must-see if you are ever in the area; an intact steam pumping station with a one-of-a-kind collection of large steam pumps. You can arrange for a visit by going to the website at: http://www.mcneillstreet.org/default.htm Also in Ford Park in Shreveport is this ex-Panama engine, looking very sad: http://www.pernet.net/~james1/texas/d&r_10.jpg -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project |

It has been seen on & off near the Shreveport Yard. The group, the Red River Railroad Historical Society seems to have partly disappeared from view, particularly after an adjunct effort to preserve the former Texas & Pacific Railway station apparently came to nought. Previously, they had hoped to get excursions going slong the riverfront, with equipment seen stored next to the former Central Station--that, too faded into oblivion.. |
