Just a nice photo of this USATC locomotive, formerly U.S. Army 190 and White Pass & Yukon 190, now at the Tweetsie RR, Blowing Rock, NC.

Bob, was this one at Dollywood? Seems to me I shot the 190 at Dollywood in 1993.

192 is at Dollywood and 190 at Blowing Rock. The one time I went to visit Tweetsie, a friend and I got to ride the 190's cab around the park and go through the shop. A very nice operation and some of the nicest folks in the business.

No, the 192 is at Dollywood, along with WP&Y 70 and 71. The remains of 72 were also there, but I'm told are mostly cut up now.

#190 has been at Tweetsie since 1960, and 192 has been a Dollywood since 1961. The #72 remains have NOT been scraped. Dollywood simply disassembled the #72's frame. The #72's driving wheels are currently under #70. I have heard rumors over the years they are planning on refurbishing #71. If thats true and happens it would be nice.
