One of my all-time favorite locomotives is this gem, the B&HS 1925 Baldwin 2-8-2 No. 300. Does anybody know of this engine's current status in Hattiesburg, MS, and have a recent digital image they can post here? Specifically: 1) Was the lagging and jacketing ever removed from this engine since it last ran? 2) Who currently owns No. 300? 3) What condition cosmetically and mechanically is it in? http://rrmuseumpa.org Kurtrbell@hotmail.com |

I understand that it is actually owned by everybody's favorite private locomotive collector, Frank Kepner. As I recall from several years ago, the jacket was still on but some of the rods were missing. I know of some serious preservationists trying to get the 300 and never even recieved the courtesy of a "NO" response. by the way, KR, contact me off list if you may be interested in an 1890's Pennsy built open platform combine. lorija799@aol.com |

Get a load of this skidder from the Tatum Lumber Co. (of which B&HS was a part). Looks like something from the movie "Wild Wild West". http://mshistory.k12.ms.us/features/feature17/lum_img_4.html ryarger@rypn.org |

Bob, that is the same Clyde skidder as the one at Long Leaf; except the the Long Leaf example has lost it's booms. Compare the picture below to the picture you found. I didn't know it was missing a pair of booms. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Long Leaf Revisited  james1@pernet.net |
