Well-traveled 2-8-0 on display at Galveston, looking pretty good here in 2005: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 031305.jpg Has anyone visited the Magma Arizona property in recent years? What's left there? Also, SP/T&NO 4-6-0 314 at Galveston, looking better than it did at Steamtown in Vermont: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 031305.jpg Also, these F7's that (I think) were originally Bessemer & Lake Erie: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 031305.jpg And Waco, Beaumont Trinity & Sabine 1, looking pretty decent also, considering the climate there: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 031305.jpg

She ran at the Railroad Museum in Galveston in the early 90's on short excursions and a mainline jaunt over to Rosenberg, Texas. She also managed to haul some freight in galveston as well. I was one of her engineers during that time period.

Post subject:	Re: Magma Arizona 5 (555?)
Why did the museum in Galveston feel the need to renumber her from her Magma Arizone number 5, to #555? Never did hear the story on that. Les

You know,I never heard the story about why the number was changed to 555.....perhaps it was an attempt to get it closer to T&NO numbering. i'll see what I can find out.
