Does anyone know the pedigree of the replica 4-4-0 at Houston's Minute Maid Park? It appears to be well done and near full size. |

SMI & Hydralics Inc., the builder of the retractable roof, is said to also be the builder of the locomotive. I believe either Uhrich Locomotive Works or Bob Harpur was also involved in it's design. It is 50% larger than full size, and weighs 24 tons. It chugs along an 800 ft long section of track on the staduim wall everything there is a home run by the Astros. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Project |
