A similar/identical article was posted to TrainOrders last week or so. One poster speculated that the loco was: "Coahuila & Zacatecas Railway # 6. (Mexico) Three foot gauge, outside framed. Built by Baldwin in 1904, as a 4-6-2, converted by CyZ to a 4-6-0. CyZ was built as a copper mining railway, and was disrupted by the Mexican revolution. The 'Pancho Villa' part is possibly more legend than fact. (How would you prove this without a picture?) Sold in the early 1960's to Early West Railways,(along with two 2-8-0's and about a dozen ng cars), EWRy was a group in Southern California that wanted to build a tourist RR near Pomona, CA. Then it was displayed at a resturaunt in SoCal, then sold to private individuals. Last I heard it was stored near Lake Elsinore, CA. " Basic info matches this loco: http://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive.cfm?Display=1430 2005 article: http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/09/13/news/community/91205193816.txt |
