Does anybody who visits this board live in or close to Brownsville, Texas, or pass thru there on occasion? Specifically, I am very interested in pictures and the status of Rio Grande narrow gauge 2-4-0 No. 1. In fact, love to do a brief on it if we can get enough information. Thanks. |

Hume, about 2 months ago, I went into looking into this locomotive with the same intentions of doing a story on her. At the moment, the locomotive has been cosmetically restored and is in a shed at the "Historic Brownsville Museum". The locomotive was apparently if I remember built as a 2-4-2T (42" gauge), then converted to a tender engine. As for where the tender is, I don't know. http://www.brownsville.org/MuseumHistory.asp |

I believe there is a builder's photo of this locomotive in the Baldwin collection (as a 2-4-2T). I think it was also in one of the George Abdill books but I can't remember which one. |
