Nice little ten wheeler that lasted a long time, but got scrapped in the early 1960s.

At Huttig, Arkansas, 5/22/57:

Probably same place, 10/59:

This was one of several BLW 4-6-0s built for the Texas-Mexican RR that got sold to shortlines after the T-M dieselized in the late-1930s with some odd boxcab locomotives. I believe it was a stock BLW design, for shortlines and export. I have seen video of one like it in Cuba, but don't know if that one was ex-T-M or not.
